The Future of Energy Conference convened policy actors, civil society, industry experts, the diplomatic corps, and businesses in Accra, Ghana, to chart actionable strategies for Africa to bridge the energy access gap and actively participate in the economics of the energy transition while contributing to global climate goals.

Governments are admonished to foster carbon markets, curb illicit financial flows, and develop educational systems that align with the current shift. Civil society and research institutions are encouraged to advocate for equitable financial mechanisms and transparency, and businesses must prioritise health, safety, and local content development. Regional economic blocs, leveraging platforms like the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), must work towards creating integrated value chains and influencing global policies in the interest of Africa.

The action points from the Conference highlight the specific roles and responsibilities of these key actors in driving a climate-proof and energy-secure future for Africa.
