About Olumide Ashade

I have 3+ years experience working in Climate and I'm passionate about improving Climate Education and awareness for the African people.

I strongly believe we have the resources and toolkits to drive significant positive change for the continent - for example, improving electricity production, distribution, and access to the over 600m Africans that needs by simply making better use of our Hydro, Solar and or Natural Gas. We may also save millions of lives and save countless hours in the lives of many girls by simply making Cooking tools/devices cleaner and non-smoke emitting.

I created Just Transition and Finance to hep bring awareness to these causes and advocate for a balanced approach to energy transition for the continent - one that gives us room to perhaps default in the immediate term but significantly turn around our economic conditions and be in a better economic and human condition to make a full and complete compliance in the mid-to-long term.

However, pre-conditional to achieving the above is for the African people to be aware and informed of the Climate situation (Globally and for African), and what the consequences are if these goals are not achieved. With better quality information and helpful awareness, we can make this possible for the continent.
