Aja Climate Solutions

AJA Climate Solutions generates and manages nature-based climate mitigation projects in Africa. The company has its foundations in 30 years of on-the-ground work in Africa on climate, community and carbon initiatives by the Nature Conservation Research Centre (NCRC). The name AJA is inspired by the word from the Yoruba language, spoken by the indigenous people of southwestern Nigeria. It means "the spirit of the forest and the animals living there". Yoruba is familiar to the founders of AJA Climate Solutions - John Mason and Alan Hodges - both of whom were born and spent their formative years growing up in Nigeria.
