Active project
Sustainable energy pathways for Africa
Africa has the potential to be a major global player in renewable energy production and carbon dioxide removal. This project will create a framework for evaluating decarbonization and energy transition pathways for Africa as well as their broader social and environmental implications. Rather than look at Africa as a single aggregated region like most global studies, this project will treat Africa as multiple sub-regions within a global economy-wide model to capture their differences in resources and potential interactions among them.
