His academic foundation is in Economics, Politics and International Relations coupled with an assortment of research interests namely, foreign policy, climate justice, corporate power, feminism and climate diplomacy at Rhodes University. At Postgraduate level he ventured into Global Climate Change Governance which became the point of departure into greater scientific exposure through interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary training in Climate Change and Sustainable Development, through the ACDI at UCT therefore, regarding himself strategically placed to go beyond the global effort of climate change negotiations. Instead to focus more on the scientific basis of the climate crisis here at home in Africa, recognizing the homegrown transdisciplinary effort required for our very survival. Through indigenous environmental education, Koaile believes that Africans can be agents capable of determining their own destiny, by rewriting themselves into the history books that have archived and erased African experiences. He works with the profound consideration that climate change justice is intragenerational with many of the predicted future scenarios ‘already here,’ taking place in many climate vulnerable countries, perversely egalitarian in their risks. Koaile’s vision is to become part of a network committed to the capacity building and conscientizing young minds to the realities of climate change and environmental issues, specific to Africa.
