Dekarbonisierung der Landwirtschaft in Afrika (EN)

The report warns African nations against relying on fossil fuel investments, citing the 'green paradox' and the risk of stranded assets in Mozambique and Tanzania. It advocates for a strategic shift toward clean energy value chains and the use of COP27 to mobilise funding for domestic energy needs, rather than focusing on gas extraction for the Global North.

• African countries face significant economic risks if they invest in liquefied natural gas (LNG) assets in a future where global temperatures are kept well below two degrees. Specifically, modelling indicates that Mozambique's LNG resources could be worth 61% (USD 66.4 billion) less than in a 'Business as Usual' scenario, while Tanzania's resources could be worth 69% (USD 20.1 billion) less.
• The European Union's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) represents a transition risk for fossil fuel-dependent economies by imposing import tariffs on carbon-intensive goods, which may render exports from such economies uncompetitive in European markets.
• The authors argue that African nations should pivot away from gas extraction, which primarily serves the Global North, and instead focus on capturing market share in clean energy value chains and implementing windfall taxes on International Oil Majors.
