“Mr. Ayuk shows how the oil and gas industry can unleash economic
development and prosperity across the continent.” –The late OPEC
Secretary General, Mohammad Barkindo
In just a few short decades, the many countries of our planet have become
interconnected beyond our wildest imaginations. And as our view of the world
has expanded, there has been a rise in the demand for cultures and political
institutions around the world to “think globally.” While thinking
globally is often well-meaning, acting globally without consideration for
local countries can unintentionally cause harmful results.
In A Just Transition, renowned Cameroonian author and entrepreneur NJ Ayuk
reveals how this sobering reality is unfolding as the International Energy
Agency’s ambitious green energy (IEA) policies have stifled and crippled the
energy economies of Africa.
When the IEA set a hard requirement for countries around the world to
embrace “green” energy sources, the burgeoning energy economies of
Africa watched in horror as funding and business interest in their oil and
gas energy projects evaporated.
With a natural abundance of oil and gas resources, Africa has the potential
to be a global energy leader. But this transformation cannot happen for
African countries through green energy alone. A Just Transition is an
insightful exploration into the possibility of a bright future for African
countries and the factors that stand in the way of its manifestation.
NJ Ayuk takes listeners on a detailed, expert journey through the following
topics:
- The reality of energy poverty
- The value of natural gas in Africa
- How foreign aid actually harms Africa
- Embracing new technology
- Creating opportunities for women
And much more!
With thoughtful governance, a keen eye for opportunity, and the due
consideration of the countries affected by a sweeping legislation, it is
possible for countries in Africa to make a transition to renewable energy
that is not only just but prosperous for all involved.
