It shows how a proactive strategy offers African countries the clearest path to development in a world shaped by climate change” - Prof Thomas Hale, Associate Professor in Public Policy (Global Public Policy), Blavatnik School of Government, University of Oxford<br/><br/>“The authors have done a timely and excellent job in articulating a ‘just transition’ from an African perspective” - Dr Bhim Adhikari (PhD), Senior Environmental Economist, Canada's International Development Research Centre (IDRC)<br/><br/><br/>This book examines how Africa can secure a ‘just transition’ to low-carbon, climate-resilient economies. |
