Mustafa Yahia

I'm a Sudanese climate activist and social entrepreneur who graduated in chemical engineering from Sudan University of Science and Technology in 2017. With a passion for climate action, I operate at the crossroads of climate mitigation, sustainable finance and circular economy.

Through Sudan Zero Waste, an NGO that I founded in 2020, I have spearheaded innovative and impactful climate mitigation projects, successfully designing, piloting, scaling and raising sustainable funding for developmental projects. I also actively contribute to organising climate awareness activities to accelerate collective climate action. In the UN’s climate negotiations, I follow climate mitigation agenda items.
