We are deeply saddened to share the news that Perry Mehrling passed away this morning at the age of 67.
Perry was the father of the Young Scholars Initiative. He believed profoundly in young scholars, in their ideas, and in the importance of creating a community in which they could learn from one another and find their own voices.
Perry, you leave an enormous hole in our midst. Our hearts are aching, and we will miss you dearly.
The YSI community will carry your legacy forward. Your ideas, your generosity, and your commitment to generations of young scholars will remain with us.
Thank you for everything, Perry.

S8EP4 with Ehireme Alexis Uddin โ Nigeria's Green Energy Transition: Climate Finance, Oil & Poverty
Alexis is a PhD researcher at SOAS University of London whose work examines the state of climate change and climate finance in Nigeria and the role of institutions in ensuring climate governance is effective and equitable. Her work sits at the intersection of climate finance, climate governance, and development policy.
In this episode, Alexis breaks down what it really takes to finance and deliver a green transition in an oil-dependent economy like Nigeria. Can Nigeria realistically transition while still relying on oil?
Key Topics Covered:
Nigeriaโs 2060 Net Zero Target โ Realistic or Wishful Thinking?
Oil Dependency vs Renewables: Why Nigeria Struggles to Transition
How Nigeria Is Financing Its Energy Transition (and Why Itโs Risky)
Solar, Dams, Bitcoin Mining & Alternative Energy Solutions
Iran War Impact on Nigeriaโs Oil & The Future of Renewables in Africa
