I am Summer Okibe.

Energy & Environmental: I have over 8 years experience in environmental and energy law, with a focus on climate change issues and how they affect Indigenous peoples and marginalized communities. These are evident with tons of publications and my fast-rising research company — “𝐑𝐞𝐠𝐦𝐢𝐟𝐲 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐜𝐞𝐬 𝐋𝐚𝐰.” At Regmify, I dissect climate change, environmental and natural resource policy issues related to: energy, mining, critical minerals, water, forests, fish (aquaculture) and the technology sector. I also advocate, and lead critical conversations, policy research & analysis for stronger Environmental regulations.

Empowerment: This is deeply rooted in my passion for lifting and helping people through difficult times. Since I was a child, I’ve always been passionate about charity work. I am the Executive Director of Environmental & Indigenous Affairs at “To Support Young Kids Foundation,” the co-founder of Spursome, a non-profit that provided international passport fee grants to prospective graduate students; and created the 𝑻𝑺𝒀𝑲 𝑭𝒖𝒏𝒅 to empower widows, provide grants for business owners and Nigerian Law School students. In 2025, I started the “𝟓-𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐭𝐞 𝐂𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲 𝐅𝐞𝐮𝐝,” to bring youths together to voice out climate and energy issues, proffer solutions and most importantly, to encourage public speaking. The first episode is scheduled for May 2025 against the Climate week. As a lifelong community builder, I’ve touched the lives of over 10,000 people through career mentorship, almsgiving and advocacy.

I have also won several scholarships and awards of over $350,000. Presented my research at various conferences and I’m currently on a mission to let the world hear my voice on Climate and Energy issues, advocate for sustainable energy, a cleaner and safer environment and ensure that its impact on the Indigenous and marginalized communities are minimal. I’m currently a YOUNGO Energy Working Group delegate to attend the 2025 ECOSOC Youth Forum at the United Nations Headquarters in New York.

I’m not here to play small. I’m here to lead, to disrupt, and to shape the global conversation on climate change, energy, and Indigenous issues because the future won’t wait, and neither will I.
