We need energy transition pathways that put development goals front and center. That rely on African research, data, and analysis. That connect to real-world decisions. And that aim for a net zero world that is ALSO equitable and energy-abundant. (6/7)

Achieving net zero energy sector emissions is crucial. But how we get there - & what the world looks like when we do - matters too. In a new report, @energyforgrowth explores modeling African energy transitions. energyforgrowth.org/report/who-dec… Why should you care? 🧵 (1/7)

US+Europe: "African countries must move to zero carbon energy now to help fix the climate problem we created." Also US+Europe: "What, us, pay for that? Nah. Go ask the private sector!" Private sector: "we want massive public parallel investment, subsidies & guarantees TYVM"

Definitely worth tuning in to this. Two great speakers tackling the challenge of Africa's energy transition and the importance of supporting the continent as it aims to cut carbon emissions and cut poverty.

Sub-Saharan Africa is rapidly urbanizing but a lack of data on urban energy transitions continues to be a major constraint for local action. Joel Nana outlines key areas to support SSA’s urban energy transition here: buff.ly/3DUZheb

Inflation Reduction Act is undeniably huge news for the US (and for the climate!!). But it could have big impacts on energy transitions in lower-income countries too. @toddjmoss and I explore --> energyforgrowth.org/blog/3-big-way…

NEW & NUTS--> No serious country would force people to wait months to apply for a visa. So we started a little project to live-track the longest wait times for US visa appointments at visalimbo.netlify.app or follow our new @VisaLimbo for updates.
