The Publish What You Pay (PWYP) Africa 2023 conference will attract over a hundred PWYP members from across the continent to connect, learn and strategise together.
NRGI is taking part in 2 sessions : Ensuring prosperity and sustainable development through just transition in Africa Thursday 8 June, 11:00 – 13: 00 UTC
Africa has contributed the least to climate change, but remains the most vulnerable region in the world to its impacts. African populations will also suffer greatly if the energy transition does not take due account of their needs and the unique position of African countries. NRGI’s Director for Africa, Nafi Chinery, will be taking part in a round table discussion on what the energy transition means for Africa and how we can work together to ensure the continent’s prosperity and sustainable development.
Fighting corruption in Africa’s transition minerals Friday 9 June, 14:00 – 16:00 UTC
Resource-rich low-income countries are the hardest hit by the global energy transition. The decisions taken by their governments, both at home and abroad, will determine their energy future and the sustainable development of their economies. In African countries, where dependence on fossil fuel revenues is particularly high, governance decisions are even more critical. NRGI is organising a training session for participants in PWYP’s African 2023 Conference on the links between energy transition, natural resource governance and corruption risks.
These sessions will be broadcast live: more information on https://resourcegovernance.org/events/conference/publish-what-you-pay-africa-conference-2023-towards-collaborative-and-just-energy-transition
