Africa's "mineral resources" - it's great advantage. After a few years learning how to refine the needed ones, a manufacturing industry - solely solar modules/batteries must be initiated - continent-wide, all products to be bought, soldandinstalled IN AFRICA-theelectriccontinent
Thank you, Madeleine and IIED for your generous and heartfelt congratulations - hoping to join the dots and to continue working together.
Congratulations to the scientists from LDCs who have been elected to the @IPCC_CH bureau.
A great personal achievement that I know we will all benefit from.

The transition to a green and just transition will be disabled if women are left out of the equation! Women farmers, energy entrepreneurs, household managers are not just part of the solution, they are critical to the process of getting it right!
Environmentally friendly & clean energy tech innovations are emerging with green energy transition.
Why is this important especially in agricultural sector🤷🏿♀️

When we ‘shut out’ indigenous processes and learning opportunities we ‘shut down’ the process of bringing local solutions to the mix, and misdirect climate adaptation.

Using knowledge to leverage partnerships with strategic stakeholders such as policy makers, civil society, academia, & the private sector is essential to priming Africa’s resources for use & supporting them to fulfil the promise of economic & social transformation.

Likewise @DanJoergensen 👍🏼 I noted in particular the call by you, @Fatima_Denton and @ASteiner and for a new narrative to relate better to the global south context in a more equal eye-to-eye conversation on climate and development in order to build trust. #dkaid @concitoinfo

The world’s blue economy matters to us & needs to be protected at all cost.
This means preservation from pollution. It means making decisions that keep marine and freshwater environments clean & safe for provision of energy, food & sustainable economic growth.

Day 2: Workshop on Energy Transition.
Our research fellow Dr. @ferditor_K , spoke on the fossil fuel conundrum, the importance of fossil fuels in African economies,challenges posed in energy use & strategy,perspectives & policy issues in the future of fossil fuels.
We keep defining just energy transition in a reductionist manner - just energy is about a wider economic problem to avoid perpetuating an economic model of exclusion- Claude Kabemba @UNUINRA
Structural transformation will not happen if we do not work towards rethinking and changing the economic system that produces the power dynamics that controls Africa’s resources - Claude Kabemba SARW -TWN and SARW discussing critical minerals @UNUINRA
