Act

The scientific focus Okerekes include the ethical dimensions of global environmental and climate policy, including the role of justice in international environmental agreements, control of climate change, the green economy and a CO 2 low-carbon development in Africa, the role of business in climate and environmental policy as well as the global political economy of environmental policy.

Okereke was involved in the Fifth Assessment Report of the IPCC (2014). He is one of the authors of the IPCC's Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5 Degrees (2018).

Okereke emphasizes that the narrative, language and views of the IPCC still marginalize the perspective of developing countries: In climate agreements, industrialized nations would often shift the burden of CO 2 emissions on to developing countries, which prevents them from developing and the historical pattern of injustice and rule.
