Africa faces a dilemma: how can it continue to develop and deliver better lives to its people without drastically growing its carbon footprint – especially given that it’s already being hit hard by the climate crisis? Some African leaders are still considering investing in gas and oil exploration, even though climate experts insist that countries should instead focus on expanding their renewable energy sectors. In this episode, originally released in July 2022, we examine how these different agendas can be reconciled – and what it will take to achieve a just energy transition for Africa. Joining us is Hamira Kobusingye, a climate and health activist from Uganda, and Davina Ngei, the communications manager at Global Women’s Network for the Energy Transition from Kenya.
