Abstract

B You have described Africa as a source of the solutions to climate change rather than as a victim. B You've talked about the combination of massive renewable energy potential, and a lack of current carbon emissions to abate, as a combination of factors making Africa uniquely appropriate for developing large-scale carbon removal efforts. By leapfrogging to low/no emissions technologies and solutions for its own production and consumption, Africa can avoid the emissions-intensive approach to growth that would otherwise add between 10 and 15 GT of annual emissions by 2050.
