Leapfrogging fossil fuels - pipedream or generational opportunity for Africa?

Leapfrogging fossil fuels

Event contact: Mathilde Thue

Many are calling for a “Just transition” that will rely on more, and not less, production of fossil fuels to drive growth. Yet with vast renewable energy potential, and facing the most severe impact from climate change, can Africa leapfrog the need for fossil fuels entirely?
