The recognition, bestowed at the Global Impact Summit organized by the Africa Intercontinental Network, Convened by Ambassador prescious Osagie, celebrated her transformative leadership, her cutting-edge contributions to climate change solutions, and her role in shaping a more sustainable future.

Through Green Earth Consulting, Harriet has championed environmental consulting, delivering results in remediation, pollution control, environmental impact assessments (EIA), and post-impact studies. Her pioneering work ensures industries and governments adopt environmentally responsible practices.

Her influence also extends to engineering and project management, where she has overseen designs, strategic planning, execution, and sustainability audits that guarantee efficiency and long-term impact. In the financial sector, her firm provides advisory and fund management services, helping organizations and development-driven initiatives remain financially resilient.

Professor Harriet’s vision goes further.

Her consulting firm has become a powerhouse of solutions, guiding organizations, governments, and development partners toward sustainable practices while promoting environmental stewardship across industries.

Professor Harriet’s career progression has been mastering the technicalities of remediation and pollution control. Over time, her scope widened to include policy development, project leadership, and strategic sustainability advisory, which now places her at the intersection of climate action, corporate responsibility, and global governance. Today, she is not just an academic or consultant, but a global advocate for environmental justice and sustainable development.

Her recognition at the Global Impact Summit 2025, themed “Fostering Collaboration for Progressive Impact,” is both a testament to her professional achievements and a call to action for the next generation.
