Research Assistant 

Mr. Obed Omane Okyere is an environmental scientist interested in synergies and interactions between socio-environmental linkages.  Obed believes that, since most environmental problem is the outcome of human actions toward the environment, there is a need for their parallel and integrated studies on both ends. This he believes will have great local impact in mitigating and reversing impacts in communities that are most affected. This he continues to explore over different domains as part of his advanced studies, research project association, volunteerism and currently as a research assistant with the CASCADE project.
