Ms. Lia Nicholson tells us how Wealth creation is a top priority in the world’s poorest continent. Development creates wealth, but has historically been the result of carbon-intensive industrialization. Today there is unprecedented climate action, with many countries, cities and companies setting targets for net zero greenhouse gas emissions. Three scenarios are outlined for Sub-Saharan Africa’s development in a low-carbon world: jobs-for-emissions, clean industrialization, and leapfrogging to a services economy.
