Towards just transition in Africa | Explainer | Chatham House

African countries face collective climate and employment related challenges. However, policymaking often remains regionally siloed according to differing political, energy sector, and ecological realities.

There is a need for transformational strategic thinking and context-specific action from African governments, civil society, businesses, and financiers, in their green financing demands and national implementation plans.

This explainer video highlights key interventions from policymakers, business leaders, researchers and civil society voices at a series of events hosted by the Chatham House Africa programme events in Nairobi, Libreville, and Addis Ababa in the lead-up to COP27.

Towards just transition: Connecting green financing and sustainable job creation in Africa, is supported by the Chatham House Sustainability Accelerator and the United Nations Development Programme.
