The race to net zero will affect the market for natural resources, financial flows, and clean energy technologies in Africa. All the while, African countries stand to be disproportionately impacted by climate change despite having contributed only a fraction of total carbon emissions. To achieve a just energy transition, new frameworks and narratives must be developed and advocated for.
Climate policy thought leaders will convene to examine the role of Africa’s strategic minerals, hydrocarbons, and human and other natural resources in the race for net zero; the tension between the global push for a clean energy transition and the continent’s own industrialization goals; and how this renewed international scramble for Africa’s resources can be harnessed into opportunities for the continent.
Presented as part of the 2024 Carnegie Africa Forum, a special one-day event that will bring together global thought leaders for discussions on the continent’s role in international cooperation. Hosted by the Carnegie Africa program, this event will leverage the dynamic network of scholars and repository of policy analysis that the program has developed since its founding in 2021 to highlight Africa’s role in the era of climate change, evolving great power competition, and the digital revolution.
