Hey,

Do you have an idea that is environmentally friendly? Maybe something that could expand off-grid access to energy, or reduce greenhouse gas emissions?

Welcome to Green Jobs Rising: where we don’t just share opportunities in the climate space, we use stories to spark new ideas and inspire the innovator in you to step forward.

Have you heard of Ecotutu? It’s a Nigeria-based cleantech company that provides solar-powered cold storage for large and small scale farmers. Their service reduces spoilage, extends shelf life, and boosts farmers’ incomes.

The brains behind this innovation: Babajide Oluwase - the Co-founder and CEO. At only 34 years old, he serves as a trustee on the board of Youth Business International (YBI), sits on the Youth Advisory Committee of the Netherlands Consulate in Lagos, and has advised the EU Delegation to Nigeria and ECOWAS on the Green and Digital Economy.

Babajide is part of Africa's cleantech leaders turning climate ideas into real impact on the ground. On LinkedIn, he shares lessons on using renewable energy and innovation to solve tough challenges like food security and post-harvest losses.

His posts dig into agriculture, energy, and climate adaptation and show what it’s actually like to scale a green venture in Africa: the wins, the setbacks, and everything in between.

His work has earned him recognition as a Mandela Washington Fellow, and his journey continues to inspire.

If you want insight into climate innovation, entrepreneurship, and policy, shared by someone young, relatable, and actively building solutions, his page is worth your follow.

You might be inspired to begin an innovation journey of your own.

Cheers!
