Post-Doc Ufuoma Ovienmhadah makes the 2025 Grist 50 list

Nov. 10, 2025

Incoming Associate Professor and current UA Post-Doc Ufuoma Ovienmhadah has been named amongst a very select few to make the 2025 Grist 50 list!   

From the Grist 50 site: 

‘The 2025 Grist 50 list highlights the work of 50 such people who are making a real difference and moving the needle. The impact they’re having in their communities and sectors shows that progress is still possible. Since 2016, the Grist 50 has put a spotlight on bold, surprising climate solutions and the personal journeys behind them. And this year marks the 10th Grist 50 list. That’s 500 stories of innovation, initiative, and action.  This year’s list features artists who are inspiring climate action through music and watercolors; entrepreneurs who are breaking down barriers for EV adoption and green jobs; and land stewards who are fostering resilience on farms, in forests, and even in cemeteries. The people on this year’s list hail from small towns and big cities, from the Caribbean to the Midwest. They’re working in academia, in local governments, in startups, in nonprofits. Together, these 50 stories are a snapshot of the progress that is still unfolding all over the country — and a testament to the strength, diversity, and creativity of the many people pushing it forward.’
