Abdulmutalib Yussuff is an Advisor to the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) Copenhagen Climate Centre in Denmark on Climate Technology and Energy Transition.[1].
Prior to that, he led the UK-PACT (Partnering for Accelerated Climate Transitions) programme in Nigeria[2] funded by the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), and the UK Department for Business Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) now the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero to mobilize UK International Climate Finance fund for the implementation of Nigeria’s Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) to the Paris accord and Energy Transition Plan and developed the inaugural strategy for the programme in Nigeria.[2]. In this role, he led project origination effort including contributions to cross-sectoral projects such as the scoping of Integrated Resource Plan (IRP)[3] for power generation expansion planning in collaboration with Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission, strengthening of Nigeria’s Sustainable Banking Principles in collaboration with the Central Bank of Nigeria and the NDC Partnership[4], scoping/initiation support for waterways transport technical assistance[5] in collaboration with Lagos State Waterways Authority, unlocking investment for renewable energy embedded generation project implemented by Rocky Mountain Institute[6], and nature-based solutions to climate change including mangrove restoration and social protection for fisheries and forestry dependent coastal communities of Nigeria implemented by UN FAO, irrigation-free indigenous trees restoration for alternative livelihood, strengthening of capacity towards forest-positive commodity export from Nigeria using satellite imagery platform disaggregating commodity crops from forest trees[7], and transfer of sustainable rice intensification methods to farmers[8]
He has worked as a Senior Associate on Energy Transition/Finance Diplomacy with E3G London[4], and as a Research Fellow on Energy Systems at Project Drawdown, USA where he focused on assessing climate technologies – their emissions reduction impacts, and implementation cost[9]. He also worked across government, private sector, and think-tanks including the World Resources Institute, and the GOPA-intec GmbH.
Early life and education edit
He was born in 1984 in Okene, Kogi State to the family of Mr. Yusuf Audu of Omoyi compound in Idoji quarters, Okene Local Government Area of Kogi State. Abdulmutalib was a Cowbell National Mathematics competition (now Cowbellpedia) award winner representing Kogi State in 2000/2001, and also a World Bank/Joint Japan scholarship and British Chevening scholarship awards winner. He graduated from the Federal University of Technology, Minna, Nigeria in 2007 with First Class Honours earning a BEng. in Chemical Engineering; MSc. Sustainable Energy Systems[10] from the School of Engineering at the University of Edinburgh, United Kingdom. Attended the Columbia University in the City of New York for a professional program in sustainable energy[11], attended ETH Zurich, TU Berlin, Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, and Imperial College London for professional programme on Climate Entrepreneurship and Innovation by Climate-KIC[12], and the University College London for professional course on Economics for Foreign Policy (with modules on Environmental Economics, Economics of Globalisation, Game Theory, and Economic Data) by the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office. He is also a Doctoral scholarship recipient to attend the University College London, UK.
Community impact edit
Abdulmutalib is a co-founder of Waste-2-Watt (W2W)[13], a renewable energy project generating 20kW and 10kW of electricity, and distributing via mini-grid to hundreds of households and businesses in agrarian communities of Rije, and Kuwitzhi respectively in Kuje Area Council in Abuja Nigeria's Federal Capital Territory, and funded by the United States African Development Foundation Off-grid Energy Challenge[14]
