Here’s Great Tip: How we can avoid a climate change crisis | Chukwumerije Okereke | TEDxLagos

Here is Something You Should See…


The coronavirus pandemic offered a glimpse into what life can become when hit with a crisis that we were least prepared for. Chukwumerije’s passionate talk warns of an impending crisis as a result of inaction on our part in responding to the climate change but also highlights the opportunities presented to us as we become environmentally conscious as a country.
Chukwumerije Okereke is a Professor of Environment and Development at the University of Reading where he also serves as the Co-Director of Climate and Justice Centre and the Leverhulme Climate Justice Doctoral Scholarship Programme

Previously, he was a Senior Research Associate at Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research at the University of East Anglia, UK, and Head of Climate and the Environment Development Centre at the Smith School Enterprise, University of Oxford, respectively.
He remains a visiting fellow at Oxford University’s Environmental Change Institute (ECI)

Professor Okereke’s work is devoted to understanding the mix of policies, strategies, and institutional arrangements that can help to address climate change and natural resource degradation in Africa in the context of sustainable development and Africa’s structural economic transformation. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at
