The Global Energy Alliance for People and Planet has appointed former Vice President of Nigeria, Professor Yemi Osinbajo SAN, as Global Advisor to assist GEAPP\u2019s mission of accelerating clean energy deployment in developing countries.<\/p>\n
This was made known in a statement announcing the appointment on the company\u2019s website on Tuesday.<\/span><\/p>\n The statement read in part: \u201cOsinbajo will support GEAPP\u2019s partnership with governments to enhance the enabling environment and delivery effectiveness to unlock faster and greater capital flows into the clean energy sector.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cHe will also continue his activity as a leading advocate for Just Energy Transitions in Africa including scaling up Africa\u2019s share of the global carbon market via the Africa Carbon Markets Initiative (ACMI). In May, Prof. Osinbajo was also confirmed as lead for the Commonwealth general election observers in Sierra Leone.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThis appointment underlines GEAPP\u2019s commitment to partnering with governments and communities across Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Caribbean to transition to clean energy systems that are driving economic growth, generating jobs and sustainable livelihoods, and helping to meet urgent climate goals during the next decade.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n In his remarks, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo said, \u201cI am honoured by the opportunity to join this movement for green energy access. GEAPP\u2019s collaborative model, sense of urgency, and focus on unlocking systemic change is well aligned with the ambitions of emerging economies as they seek a greener future for their citizens. GEAPP\u2019s vision for change is ambitious. That is entirely fitting; if we\u2019re to achieve our twin goals of universal energy access and climate change action while transforming the lives of millions, then we must set our sights high.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Global Energy Alliance for People and Planet has appointed former Vice President of Nigeria, Professor Yemi Osinbajo SAN, as Global Advisor to assist GEAPP\u2019s mission of accelerating clean energy deployment in developing countries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":14280,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[7239,547],"class_list":["post-14279","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-metro","tag-geapp","tag-yemi-osinbajo"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/theblogonline.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14279"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/theblogonline.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/theblogonline.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theblogonline.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theblogonline.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=14279"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/theblogonline.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14279\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14281,"href":"https:\/\/theblogonline.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14279\/revisions\/14281"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theblogonline.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/14280"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theblogonline.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=14279"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theblogonline.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=14279"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theblogonline.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=14279"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
