DÉCLARATION POLITIQUE : PLAN ÉNERGIE RENOUVELABLE POUR UNE REPRISE JUSTE EN AFRIQUE

The statement calls for a transition to 100% renewable energy in Africa to address the dual crises of climate change and Covid-19. It demands the installation of over 300 GW of new renewable capacity by 2030 and 2000 GW by 2050, funded by an estimated $130 billion annual investment. The plan emphasizes community ownership, energy sovereignty, and a feminist just transition that creates 7 million well-paid jobs while ending fossil fuel extraction and illicit financial flows.

• To achieve energy independence, Africa requires more than 300 gigawatts (GW) of new renewable energy by 2030, as agreed by the African Union, and over 2000 GW by 2050.
• The proposed renewable energy plan is considered technically and financially viable with an annual investment of approximately 130 billion dollars, which could be funded through ending illicit financial flows, public climate finance, and debt cancellation.
• The transition aims to create 7 million well-paid jobs in solar, wind, and other clean renewable energy sectors, focusing on a feminist just transition that includes retraining for workers currently dependent on fossil fuels.
• The document demands a total ban on new fossil fuel extraction and the accelerated phase-out of existing fossil fuels in favor of community-managed, affordable clean energy systems.
