Negotiating Africa's Energy Future News

A decade after countries agreed to the Paris climate agreement, Mongabay reports on an idea often invoked when discussing Africa’s path toward a low-carbon future: a just energy transition. Reporters from across the continent explore what “just” and “clean” energy mean for Africans. These stories show African countries are pursuing their own journeys toward more energy-intensive economies and societies, while seeking to limit their carbon footprint. Across Africa there is not one just energy transition, but many, with African nations striving for a deal that’s fair to their peoples and the planet, while pushing to reshape a deeply unequal international structure one climate negotiation at a time.
