N2 - Endowed with abundant sunshine, wind and hydropower resources, Africa has significant potential to become the next global hub for solar, wind and green hydrogen investments, offering a path to both energy and economic diversification. In 2015, the 24th Ordinary Assembly of the Heads of State and Government of the African Union adopted Agenda 2063, a transformational plan aimed at tapping this potential and advancing economic, social and environmental development in Africa by 2063. One of the key priority areas of the agenda is to ‘ensure modern, efficient, reliable, cost-effective, renewable and environmentally friendly energy to all African households, businesses, industries and institutions’. Agenda 2063 builds on Goal 7 of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 7), which aims to advance clean, stable and affordable energy for all by 2030.
