I am a recent graduate of the University of Ghana, Legon. I am about to start working for an investment firm in my country. Like many youth of my generation, I am passionate about issues that affect us in the developing countries of the world. My favorite pastime is debating; I was part of the team that won the Ghana National debate championship in 2004. At the recent Annual Bank Conference on Development Economics in Seoul, I was one of the three finalists for an essay competition on climate change. We came together to form the Global Green Generation (3G) Network, a youth environmental advocacy group to help carry out some of the ideas expressed in our essays. Although I must admit that the road so far has been very bumpy, we hope to be able to impact our generation positively and not end with the award ceremony of the essay competition.
