Sustainability
We have specific areas of focus that support our climate change priorities such as Clean Air, Clean Energy and Waste Management in shaping Africa’s Future Earth through advocacy and mobilizing resources to accelerate action.
"Africa is home to 60% of the world’s best solar resources, and, in addition, has abundant wind, geothermal, and hydro potential. Its untapped renewable energy potential is 50 times the anticipated global demand for electricity in 2040. Aggressively deploying its renewable energy resources, Africa can provide energy to all Africans, 600 million of whom currently do not have access to energy and 150 million of whom have unreliable access to energy, at a 30% lower cost and with over 90% lower emissions per KWH, compared to the current stated policy.” - Prof. Yemi Osinbajo
Africa’s low industrial base and its low carbon footprint which can be an advantage, enabling the continent to develop greenfield clean energy manufacturing, saving it the cost of abandoned legacy carbon-intensive manufacturing projects, and by pursuing an industrialization pathway that focuses on using renewable energy of which Africa has the most potential.
