GlobalABC Regional Roadmap for Buildings and Construction in Africa 2020-2050
Towards a zero-emission, efficient and resilient buildings and construction sector The GlobalABC Roadmap for Buildings and Construction in Africa sets out targets and timelines towards achieving zero emission, efficient and resilient buildings and construction between 2020 and 2050 in Africa. The Roadmap covers eight themes, including urban planning, new buildings, existing buildings, building operations, appliances and systems, materials, resilience, and clean energy. For each of these themes, priority actions related to policy and technology are identified as well as other enabling activities including capacity building and finance. This Roadmap was developed in collaboration with the GlobalABC and UN Environment…

Clean Energy Transitions in North Africa
…stock of the region’s current energy trends and illustrate policy-relevant best practices that help advance decarbonisation of the region’s energy systems. The report highlights key policy recommendations and opportunities to enable policy makers to build future energy systems based on the deployment of clean, affordable and efficient energy sources and practices.
The IEA will present this report’s findings during a virtual regional event in September 2020. The event will convene regional policy makers and stakeholders for an exchange on pathways, best practices, success stories and lessons learned recommendations to accelerate clean energy transitions in North Africa… -
Climate Impacts on African Hydropower
…century, which are likely to pose a challenge to hydropower generation in Africa. To minimise the adverse effects of climate change, hydropower is needed to enhance Africa’s resilience to climate change. Resilient hydropower can play a key role in allowing Africa to meet the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), implement clean energy transitions, and adapt to climate change.
This report aims to enhance the climate resilience of African hydropower through a climate risk and impact assessment, and by introducing potential resilience measures. It qualitatively assesses climate risks to African hydropower and examines potential climate impacts quantitatively, comparing two climate scenarios…
