The climate imperative - Prioritising a continental just energy transition
- Across Africa, the energy transition is a key opportunity for the continent to fully industrialise. How are policymakers seizing this initiative to pursue their own energy ambitions through mining?
- How can Africa take advantage of the energy transition to enhance mineral value-chains and green industrialisation, whilst also increasing local beneficiation?
- As more foreign environmental legislation imposes greater limits on heavy industrial sectors, are external stakeholders setting a standard that disregards the African development imperative?
- Leveraging demand for critical minerals to boost inclusive growth and sustainable development – how can energy investments benefit the wider community and promote local development?
