Energy transition remains a global priority, but in Africa it is essential that this transition is ‘Just’. This session considers what the energy transition will look like in an African context, prioritising development whilst protecting communities most at risk of climate disaster.

• What should energy transition look like in Africa? 
• How are African sovereigns approaching Africa's energy transition? What can the international community to do support transition, delivering on promises made at COPs over the past years?
• Should ECAs consider loosening restrictions on transition fuels – such as natural gas – in developing countries?
