Climate Chance Summit – Africa 2021

Access to Energy and Energy Efficiency

Watch the replay of the workshop:

This workshop dedicated to energy access and efficiency in Africa aims to bring together the sector’s actors and build strong, priority messages to take on behalf of the Coalition to the next major international climate events.

Beyond this advocacy, face-to-face participants with the support of virtual participants can work on the identification of a flagship project to be co-sponsored by the Coalition and developed over the next few years.
