Asserting Sovereignty: A Strategic Agenda for Africa in the Global Energy Transition

Africa is indispensable to the global energy transition, but remains structurally sidelined in the decisions shaping it. This policy paper calls on African states to reclaim policy sovereignty, resist extractive green models, and chart a transition anchored in equity, industrial development, and regional resilience. Drawing on case studies and two years of multi-stakeholder dialogues, it offers a bold roadmap for African leadership in climate finance, mineral governance, and energy innovation.
