OIES – Africa’s Energy Transition and Recent Geopolitical, Political and Policy Turbulences

The main theme of the document concerns Africa's transition to clean energy amid recent geopolitical, political, and policy turbulences.

Key findings include recent events in Europe and the US potentially disrupting energy transition efforts, especially in developing regions like Africa. Political and regulatory challenges in Europe and the US may complicate Africa's attempts to achieve a just energy transition. There is a reduction in clean energy funding from the US and possible reductions in European funding due to increased defense spending.
