Oxford Said Business School Talks

What does just transition mean for Africa


Listen Later

The Oxford Business Forum Africa, hosted by the Oxford Africa Business Alliance on 10 March 2023.


Actions to address climate change raise particular challenges for social justice, and for the future of jobs in Africa. Even though there will be opportunities for generation of new green jobs, people working in industry and/or living in regions and communities where dependence on fossil fuel is high and where opportunities for economic diversification are limited are likely to see job losses. With the right choices and measures, African countries can manage the trade-offs and achieve both their development and social objectives to make sure the process of greening African economies doesn’t worsen existing inequalities.


Speakers:

NJ Ayuk, Executive Chairman, African Energy Chamber

Rolake Akinkugbe Filani, Chief Commercial Officer, Mixta Africa

Ruka Sanusi, Executive Director, World Bank's Ghana Climate Innovation Center

Elemchi Nwosu, Economic Development Practitioner (emerging markets)
