Africa's Path to Net-Zero by Samuel Chukwujindu Nwokolo,Rubee Singh,Shahbaz Khan,Anil Kumar,Sunil Luthra Pdf

This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the challenges and opportunities for achieving a net-zero energy transition in Africa. With a focus on policy, technology, financing, and socio-political factors, the book presents four potential scenarios for a sustainable energy transition in the continent. The scenarios presented highlight the importance of balancing economic growth with environmental sustainability and social development. While foreign investments in renewable energy could be beneficial, they must be carefully monitored and regulated to prevent exploitation and ensure accountability. The book also emphasizes the need for collaboration and a calculated transition to ensure that all stakeholders are involved in the process. Additionally, the challenges of achieving self-sufficiency and export-free energy are discussed, with the importance of setting limitations and regulations to prevent a vicious cycle of poverty and dependency on foreign aid. With a deep understanding of Africa's environmental, socio-political, and socio-cultural complexities, “Africa's Path to Net-Zero” offers valuable insights for policymakers, investors, and anyone interested in promoting a sustainable energy future for the continent.

Africa's Resource Future by James Cust,Albert Zeufack Pdf

This book examines the role for natural resource wealth in driving Africa’s economic transformation and the implications of the low-carbon transition for resource-rich economies. Resource wealth remains central to most Sub-Saharan African economies, and significant untapped potential is in the ground. Subsoil assets—such as metals, minerals, oil, and gas—are key sources of government revenues, export earnings, and development potential in most countries in the Africa region. Despite large reserves, success in converting subsoil wealth into aboveground sustainable prosperity has been limited. Since the decline in commodity prices in 2014, resource-rich Africa has grown more slowly than the region’s average growth rate. Finding ways to more effectively harness natural resource wealth to drive economic transformation will be central to Africa’s economic future. As the world moves away from fossil fuels in alignment with commitments under the Paris Agreement, Africa’s resource-rich countries face new risks and opportunities. Recent estimates suggest that 80 percent of the world’s proven fossil fuel reserves must remain underground to meet the Paris targets, and much of these stranded reserves may be in Africa. This issue of stranded assets and, relatedly, “stranded nations,†? has major implications for the many African economies that are dependent on petroleum extraction and export. On the other hand, the energy transition will increase demand for raw material inputs involved in clean energy technologies. The transition from fossil fuels to clean energy may create demand by 2050 for 3 billion tons of minerals and metals that are needed to deploy solar, wind, and geothermal energy. How can African economies tap into these opportunities while managing the downside risk to their fossil fuel wealth? Africa’s Resource Future explores these themes and offers policy makers insights to help them navigate the coming years of uncertainty.

A Just Transition by NJ Ayuk Pdf

“Mr. Ayuk shows how the oil and gas industry can unleash economic development and prosperity across the continent.” —The late OPEC Secretary General, Mohammad Barkindo In just a few short decades, the many countries of our planet have become interconnected beyond our wildest imaginations. And as our view of the world has expanded, there has been a rise in the demand for cultures and political institutions around the world to “think globally.” While thinking globally is often well-meaning, acting globally without consideration for local countries can unintentionally cause harmful results. In A Just Transition, renowned Cameroonian author and entrepreneur NJ Ayuk reveals how this sobering reality is unfolding as the International Energy Agency’s ambitious green energy (IEA) policies have stifled and crippled the energy economies of Africa. When the IEA set a hard requirement for countries around the world to embrace “green” energy sources, the burgeoning energy economies of Africa watched in horror as funding and business interest in their oil and gas energy projects evaporated. With a natural abundance of oil and gas resources, Africa has the potential to be a global energy leader. But this transformation cannot happen for African countries through green energy alone. A Just Transition is an insightful exploration into the possibility of a bright future for African countries and the factors that stand in the way of its manifestation. NJ Ayuk takes listeners on a detailed, expert journey through the following topics: The reality of energy poverty The value of natural gas in Africa How foreign aid actually harms Africa Embracing new technology Creating opportunities for women And much more! With thoughtful governance, a keen eye for opportunity, and the due consideration of the countries affected by a sweeping legislation, it is possible for countries in Africa to make a transition to renewable energy that is not only just but prosperous for all involved.

Innovations in Environmental Legislation and Justice: Environmental and Water-Energy-Food Nexus Laws by Norouzi, Nima,Movahedian, Hussein Pdf

Human health has been protected from environmental contamination by national laws throughout history, but there are still many areas of international environmental law that are underdeveloped. Even though numerous international environmental treaties have been established, effective agreements remain difficult to achieve for a variety of reasons. Because environmental problems disregard political boundaries, they can only be adequately addressed by a wide range of governments, some of which may have serious disagreements on important points of policy. The knowledge gap between legal developments designed to achieve environmental objectives and the practical, scientific, and technical applications must be bridged. Environmental and energy law should be explored from a wide range of perspectives and approaches to gain insight into how the law is designed to tackle particular environmental problems. Innovations in Environmental Legislation and Justice: Environmental and Water-Energy-Food Nexus Laws examines the development and application of international environmental laws and regulations dealing with global air, water, and land pollution. By adopting a multi-disciplinary approach to environmental and energy law, the book embraces all readerships and goes a step further to address the often thorny problem of improving communication between scientists and engineers and law and policymakers. Covering topics such as environmental justice, green constitutions, and climate change, this book is ideal for policymakers, government officials, legal professionals, environmentalists, students, academicians, researchers, and more.
