The president said that unlocking Africa’s potential to undertake economic transformation alongside a green energy drive is the most feasible way to attain a net-zero world by 2050. "Africa’s capacity to limit its own emissions is the clearest pathway to enable the world to achieve its climate action targets. "By definition, effective climate action must entail technological leapfrogging to disrupt and invert the industrial development pathway and go green first.
