Description

A clean energy transition potentially ensures vast socio-economic benefits to countries across Africa, especially in sub-Saharan Africa thereby improving access to affordable energy, providing employment opportunities locally, and scaling up energy security. The major challenge towards realizing these benefits is largely due to the lack of flow of investments in the clean energy sector.

African countries have an opportunity to leapfrog fossil fuel technologies to a more sustainable, climate-friendly, and efficient energy strategy that adheres to the Paris Agreement and low-carbon growth. Access to finance can enable a clean energy transition by facilitating socio-economic development in the rural as well as urban communities of Africa.

The 8th webinar under the PWCET series seeks to discuss the gaps and opportunities in the financing of clean energy transition in Africa. The speakers’ interventions will be followed by a moderated panel discussion including interaction with the audience.
