This event will explore the following issues:

• What would a just energy transition looks like across Africa’s diverse contexts? Justice for whom? Should the focus be on accessibility? Or affordability? What are the development implications within the context of the SDGs?
• Which energy mix would be most appropriate for Africa’s energy transition? What are the merits and demerits of a phased transition?
• How would African countries finance a sustainable energy transition? What sustainable financing instruments are available to African countries? What steps could be taken to de-risk (or pool risks) for sustainable energy investments? Would regional approaches facilitate financing? Is creating a “TICAD energy Transition Fund or TICAD sustainable finance fund” could be as part of the solution?
• What steps could be taken to ensure affordability and accessibility for traditionally marginalized individuals and communities? How could we ensure that no one or no region is left behind?
• What role could development organizations (like UNDP, UNIDO) play in supporting and facilitating a just energy transition across Africa namely in the case for Tunisia?
