“Africa is demonstrating the political will & determination to transition to a climate resilient future. But one essential element that can unlock Africa’s potential is missing, and that is available, accessible & affordable finance” #DrSultanAlJaber during his address at #ACS23.
Africa can be a renewable energy superpower.
Now is the time to bring together African countries with developed countries, financial institutions and technology companies to create a true African Renewable Energy Alliance.
Africa is home to 30% of the mineral reserves that are critical to renewable & low-carbon technologies.
To truly benefit all Africans, production & trade must be sustainable, transparent & just - with maximum added value produced in African countries.

To understand the shift, we have to understand the culture man evolved from

climate change is first a way of correcting behavioral patterns that might not be in best interest for the environment.
