African Governments Urged to Invest in Renewable Energy for Job Creation

The Project Management Institute's Sub-Saharan Africa Director, Georg Asamani, calls on African governments, particularly Nigeria, to invest in renewable energy technologies to create 30 million new clean energy jobs by 2030. The transition is crucial for global climate goals, despite the potential loss of 13 million fossil fuel jobs.

South Africa faces challenges as coal workers need reskilling for renewable energy projects. The International Energy Agency warns of job losses but emphasizes the need for a green transition.
