With over 600 million Africans living in energy poverty, improving access to affordable and reliable energy sources is critical to the future growth and prosperity of the continent. Coupled with the urgent requirement to decarbonise, Africa’s energy transition is a unique and complex challenge.

In this event we discussed the action needed for the transition to net-zero and resilient energy systems, and how Africa's transition differs from other regions.

Speakers include:
Lord Adair Turner, Chair, Energy Transitions Commission
Rose Mutiso, Research Director, Energy for Growth Hub
Nick O'Donohoe, Chief Executive, British International Investment
Chair: Amal-Lee Amin, Managing Director , Climate, Diversity and Advisory, British International Investment
