"Developing new fossil fuel infrastructure would result in billions of stranded assets and debt for future generations," said Antonio Pedro, the executive secretary at UNECA. The country's power sector is a major contributor to greenhouse emissions, accounting for 41% of total carbon dioxide emissions.
"The expansion of access through Distribute Renewable Energy systems will answer an urgent need quickly and support climate resilience, food security, and human capital development goals," the World Bank said in a statement.
