Wynne Young

Environmental Sustainability Intern

Jamil serves as the Regional Director, Law and Policy (Africa) at CGSL where he oversees current developments and tracking of all sustainability-related laws and regulations on the African continent. He is an international criminal and environmental lawyer currently pursuing a doctorate degree in law (S.J.D.) at Pace University’s Elisabeth Haub School of Law, where his research focuses on ecocide and environmental crimes.

Wynne is a sustainability intern at the Center for Global Sustainability Center, involved in all things environmental. Having previously built a fond relationship with the founder, Akinola, he was invited onboard not long after to help with the organization in its early stages and provide manpower. Since then, he has collaborated with team members in drafting weekly articles and identifying and classifying environmental regulations at the national and subnational level across the world. He has a diverse breadth of experiences in the earth sciences, comparative politics, and analyzing current issues through a sustainability lens, which have equipped him with the skills needed to tackle environmental issues at the top echelons of business.

Professionally, he is pursuing sustainable consulting, having extensive experience in tracking nitrous oxide emissions as a GHG sustainability consultant at Cobalt Water Global and through various advisory-focused science projects during high school and college. He is an international travel aficionado, having been to over 70 countries, and has cool stories to share from each. He also loves language-learning, being a massive linguistics nerd, and dabbles in all things outdoorsy, whether it be a calm local hike or extreme trekking at 18,000 feet in the Himalayas.
