As we work towards raising ambition for #COP26, the @energyforgrowth team will continue to push for economic justice. My latest @TEDTalks for @TEDCountdown frames some of this thinking: https://t.co/cxd70nHmmY
Both Sam Altman (OpenAI) and Dario Amodei (Anthropic) have made some version of the argument that AI will give us the power to "fix the climate". I find this a deeply problematic position, as the challenges of mitigation are as much political as technological.
Could power hungry AI be an opportunity for Africa? Check out my latest in substack, and keen to hear your thoughts and reactions! #AI#energy#Africa https://t.co/tn7nVSyxcF
"The future of mobility on [Africa] hinges on our urgent and collaborative efforts to build a solid evidence base and drive this revolution forward from the ground up," writes @MutisoRose in a new #ScienceExpertVoices article.

Check out our new Africa #EV readiness index, the first comprehensive assessment of drivers and benefits of electric vehicles in 48+ African countries. We'd love your input to help improve it!
Full backstory in my latest piece for @ScienceMagazine https://t.co/1fYzRlKMUL
Introducing our new Africa EV Readiness and Impact Index: the 1st comprehensive assessment of drivers and benefits of #electricvehicle adoption across the entire African continent.
Our index includes two interactive maps showing EV readiness and impact: https://t.co/gZO74gZApY
It's been a tough week in the news. I distracted myself by writing my new substack post about humor in the science and policy world. I hope you enjoy it, and would love to hear your thoughts and reactions. https://t.co/OwrZNZILEr
🌍 Introducing Kibao, @MutisoRose's new Substack! 🌍
Kibao is a platform where Rose shares deep dives & musings on topics that matter to us all, including energy, climate, tech, and the African continent. https://t.co/dgcMeNzaEs 🧵👇
🚀 Excited to launch my new Substack: Kibao! I'll be posting articles on energy, tech, and Africa. Plus other musings. First two posts on *Afrofuturism for Policy Wonks* and *A Skeptic's Guide to Tech Hype* are up! Subscribe now! https://t.co/pzITMegi7t
Attention #energy and #energyefficiency nerds! Had the wonderful pleasure of talking #EE on @BBCWorld climate question last week. A goal of the episode was to make energy efficiency interesting & compelling, and I think we succeeded! Stand proud team #EE! https://t.co/MYFUtgJMzF
Everyone's got something to say on #AI these days, so I decided to jump on the bandwagon with my own thoughts. I write in @ScienceMagazine on why & how African countries should cut through the AI buzz and meaningfully prepare for this brave new world https://t.co/ZDdUWiDMPG
Amazing to stumble upon this mind-bending @TEDTalks by @hollyherndon . Unexpected and inspiring to see Holly lean into the disruption when AI threatens control over her art, identity, and livelihood. We need new rules for this brave new world! https://t.co/oDQRtaVAiQ
The @AfricanClimateF is looking for a passionate and dynamic person to lead an ambitious initiative that will seed world-class, African-led and African-owned energy systems research. Please share widely!
Massive thanks @ScienceMagazine for selecting my piece on building African energy knowledge ecosystems as one of the top of 2023! And thanks to the @energyforgrowth team and our collaborators for contributions to this work. Here's to more together in 2024! https://t.co/Qlp8HCABfZ
My book is published today in the US 🇺🇸
Published in the UK (& elsewhere) on 11th.
It looks at 7 of our big environmental problems & how to solve them.
These problems are massive. Urgent. But solvable. It's a critical decade for us to take action.

Calls for more climate finance are important, but if current practice is any guide, a large share of the funds will be taken from budgets that fund critical development priorities, @vijramachandran and @alexjmssmith write. https://t.co/k6FQL8tn8t
Excited about participating as a speaker in the upcoming @IOPenvironment online event, which centers on energy access. I'm also eager to learn from my experienced co-speakers. #energyaccess#ER2023
