Energy Transitions and the Future of the African Energy Sector: Law, Policy and Governance

Editat de Victoria R. Nalule
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 oct 2021
This book explores current developments in the African energy sector and highlights how these are likely to be affected by the ongoing global efforts to transition to a low-carbon economy. It analyses the legal, regulatory and policy frameworks at the national and regional level as they relate to Energy transition in Africa and discusses how regionalism is increasingly utilized to tackle energy access and climate change challenges. Using case studies from across the continent, several key thematic issues, including gender justice, social license to operate, local content and conflict of energy laws are covered in detail. The authors also uniquely examine the progressive nature of global energy use and introduce the new concept of ‘Energy Progression.’ 

This book will be an invaluable reference for researchers and policymakers looking for a comprehensive overview of the field.
