Samuel Chukwujindu Nwokolo is a distinguished figure in the field of renewable energy and climate science activism. With a strong educational background, he holds a Bachelor's degree, a Postgraduate Diploma (PGD) in Physics (renewable energy option), and MSc. Atmospheric Physics/Meteorology (In View). His passion for sustainable solutions and his deep understanding of the environmental challenges we face today have propelled him to the forefront of the movement. Through his extensive research and practical experience, he has become an advocate for renewable energy adoption and an expert in climate science. His expertise lies not only in theoretical knowledge but also in hands-on implementation, making him a valuable asset in the pursuit of a greener future. Anthony Umunnakwe Obiwulu is a Nigerian Armed Forces Major General. He is committed to teaching sustainable and smart energy systems in Nigerian military schools of electrical and mechanical engineering located throughout the country. He has now established the SolarWatt Park in Kaduna and Lagos, where vital research on various aspects of solar PV systems is carried out. Solar Energy, Smart Energy Systems, and Sustainable Development Studies were all covered in the research (sustainable cities and resources, building integrated photovoltaics for sustainable architecture). He received both his BSc and Ph.D. in Solar Physics from the University of Lagos in Nigeria.Paul C. Okonkwo brings a wealth of expertise to his role as an Associate Professor at the Department of Mechanical and Mechatronic Engineering at Dhofar University in Salalah, Oman. With a special interest in renewable energy, he is dedicated to exploring innovative solutions that address the pressing challenges of sustainable development. Prior to joining Dhofar University, Dr. Okonkwo had made significant contributions to the field through his research and academic pursuits, establishing himself as a respected authority in the realm of renewable energy. Okonkwo is a highly accomplished professional with a diverse background in environmental engineering, corrosion, failure analysis, tribology, and renewable energy. With extensive experience in academia and industry, Paul has taught at universities and conducted research projects across the Middle East, Africa, and Australia.
