“A global energy transition relying on modeling approaches that assume Africa will remain poor…is destined to fail.”

Definitely worth tuning in to this. Two great speakers tackling the challenge of Africa's energy transition and the importance of supporting the continent as it aims to cut carbon emissions and cut poverty.
📅 Very much looking forward to our next Insight event...
@AdairTurner and @MutisoRose will be discussing Africa's energy transition and the action needed for the transition to net-zero and resilient energy systems ⬇️

Sub-Saharan Africa is rapidly urbanizing but a lack of data on urban energy transitions continues to be a major constraint for local action.

Don't get too bummed out about COP26, says @drvolts volts.wtf/p/dont-get-too-bum… I agree, but see a big fight brewing on Africans' efforts to get energy justice integrated into climate justice: revkin.bulletin.com/17371059… More as #cop27 comes to (North) Africa.

African governments may be relatively powerless to push back against the efforts to exact the greatest climate sacrifice on them, but that does not mean that African peoples will accept this fate passively, writes @hofrench in his weekly column.
