As temperatures rise and populations grow across Africa, so does the need for establishing cold chains to make sure that food and medicines are protected from heat.
<> But electrification strategies need to also address the reliability and quality of electricity supply and their role in enabling economic activity.Economic development hinges on reliable electricity supply for businesses, schools, hospitals, mobility solutions, and more.

The Here are five key takeaways from the report identified by Sustainable Energy for All (SEforALL) that should be kept in mind to provide a sharper focus on the remaining challenges and priorities.The IEA report offers further proof that current efforts to deliver clean cooking access are woefully inadequate and ineffective. Governments, development financial institutions and philanthropies can work with private financiers to create new blended finance structures that support energy sector enterprises.We look forward to exploring these insights further and to welcoming IEA, and partners from around the world, at the next Africa’s energy sector, with two prominent features: - Individual analysis of 11 countries representing three-quarters of the continent’s GDP - Africa Case: an analysis of how the energy … %����

A report by the International Energy Agency.
Africa’s rich natural resources aren’t limited to sunshine and other energy sources. It explains the impact of today’s decisions on tomorrow’s energy systems, and describes a pathway that enables the world to meet climate, energy access and air quality goals while maintaining a strong focus on the reliability and affordability of energy for a growing global population. endobj endobj Consistent with The fact that we are regressing on this issue is due to a clear lack of political will and investment in the sector. People need protection too: the IEA forecasts that, under current policies, residential cooling demand will more than quadruple by 2040.Of course, sustainable cooling solutions must be developed with a strict focus on efficiency to ensure they are in line with available supplies of electricity. <>/Font<>/XObject<>/ProcSet[/PDF/Text/ImageB/ImageC/ImageI] >>/MediaBox[ 0 0 720 405] /Contents 4 0 R/Group<>/Tabs/S/StructParents 0>> 7 0 obj
