Despite these challenges, Africa is not just a casualty but also a leader in addressing the extraordinary biodiversity, climate, and A Just Transition crises — for Africa and the world. Much of the continent can bypass some of the worst aspects of fossil fuel dependence and instead accelerate renewables. Further, Africa is the home of myriad Indigenous traditions that have lived in balance with the Earth since time immemorial and that could provide desperately needed insight and education for much of the modern world. Additionally, different locales, countries, and regions have myriad assets to leverage — from conservation excellence to renewable energy, from regenerative agriculture to possibilities of sustainable mining, from ecotourism to the blue economy — and more.
