COP29 has been a disaster for the developing world. It’s a betrayal of both people and planet, by wealthy countries who claim to take climate change seriously. Rich countries have promised to “mobilise” some funds in the future, rather than provide them now. The cheque is in.

This isn’t about charity. It’s about justice, strategy & vision. Africa’s energy future is a global opportunity. The world must invest - not just in climate goals, but in a fairer future. 4/4.

Structural barriers like debt, lack of finance & IP restrictions hold us back. But Africa’s lack of legacy infrastructure is a strategic advantage - we can build smart, people-centred systems from scratch. 3/4.

A new report shows Africa could save $5 trillion, create 2.2 million energy jobs & deliver universal access with renewables. Fossil fuels aren’t a stepping stone—they’re a trap. 2/4.

Africa can go 100% renewable by 2050. The tech exists. The economics make sense. The benefits—jobs, savings, clean power—are staggering. So what’s stopping us?. My latest for @ContextNewsroom. 1/4.

The outcome of the Bonn climate talks is a sobering reminder that the international community is still dragging its feet, even as lives are being lost to climate breakdown. The slow pace on core issues - finance, adaptation, and just transition - reveals a deepening trust gap.

Africa’s clean energy future is within reach. It’s the cheapest, healthiest, and most equitable path forward. Let’s choose it—for our people, our planet, and generations to come.

But structural barriers—debt, lack of grants, tech hoarding—hold us back. We must reject the myth that fossil fuels are our only path to development. That narrative is dangerous and outdated. 🛑⛽.

Nearly 720 million Africans live far from a power line. Decentralised solar, wind, and electric cooking tech can close this gap faster and more affordably than outdated grids. Clean energy = energy justice. 🔋☀️.

A 100% renewable energy future is not a dream—it's technically feasible and economically wise. We could save up to $5 trillion by 2050 and create 5.4 million energy jobs. That’s $150B/year to reinvest in our people. 💰👷🏾‍♀️📚.

1/ My latest article for @NationAfrica.Africa stands at a crossroads. One path leads to fossil-fueled inequality. The other? A bold, people-powered future driven by clean, renewable energy. 🧵.

This report is a rallying call. Africa has the resources, potential, and vision. Now we need bold leadership to make 100% renewables a reality. 📘 Full report: #AfricaClimateLeadership #JustTransition #RenewablesNow.

Let’s be clear: Fossil fuel expansion isn’t development—it’s a trap. We risk stranded assets, mounting debt, and deepening inequality. We must reject false solutions and invest in a people-centered energy future.

This is about energy sovereignty. Africa can leapfrog fossil fuels and lead the clean energy revolution—on our terms. But we need fair finance, tech transfer, and debt justice to make it real.
