A just transition pathway that reconciles socioeconomic and climate imperatives is possible. However, it will require a strong commitment to climate issues from African and international stakeholders. Increased technical and financial mobilization of African governments, African and international donors and public development banks, and all financial players on the continent will make it possible to finance and support the continent’s fast-growing climate innovation.
