Our fight goes beyond the COP. It’s a global struggle for justice and liberation.

Bold renewable energy targets mean nothing if communities are left behind. A people-centered transition is the only path to real climate justice.

During #COP30, we demand systems that that give power to the people, in a just way.

#Wattsupafrica #AfricaDemands

As COP30 approaches, the demands still stand!

✅Mining of critical minerals must go beyond extraction and export; they should power African countries.

✅Financing the transition means financing a climate-resilient future, through grants, not debt.

We’re so inspired by their stories, proof that with passion, resilience, and continuous learning, the sky is not the limit, it’s just the beginning.

Stay tuned for our next edition coming soon! 🚀

If Africa invests in local processing, value addition, and regional cooperation, critical minerals could fuel clean energy industries, create jobs, and drive sustainable development.

The world needs Africa’s minerals but Africa needs a just, renewable-powered future.

But while this growth is inspiring, it also highlights a critical gap: the lack of local manufacturing capacity. Relying heavily on imports leaves Africa missing out on opportunities.

To make this transition just & sustainable, investments must go into building local industries.

Millions of Africans live without reliable electricity, not because we don’t have the resources, but because we’re not harnessing them enough due to:

♻️Inadequate policy frameworks
♻️Insufficient investment
♻️continued reliance on fossil fuels

Energy isn’t just a need; it is hope.

In 2024 alone, 91% of newly commissioned renewable power projects were more cost-effective than any new fossil fuel alternatives, according to IRENA.

We are excited to bring you the first edition of Watts Up Career Talks, now even bigger!

This special session will feature two inspiring female Wind Turbine Technicians, sharing their career journeys, daily experiences, and tips for breaking into the renewable energy space.

Instead of investing in building new coal or gas plants, Africa can leapfrog straight to renewable energy. With supportive policies such as feed‑in tariffs and guaranteed financing, we can unlock private investment and make it happen.

The gap remains because women remain underrepresented in the sector, continue to face technical barriers, and encounter lagging policy that advances unevenly across the world.

Through training, mentorship, and policy, we can ensure women equally power the clean energy transition.

Reports can be rewritten, but can we rewrite the rising sea levels, melting glaciers, and record heat that science has long warned about?

Now is the moment to rewrite our energy story, not our climate reports, and choose a future that is just, resilient, and fossil-free.

TeraMed’s plan to install 1 terawatt of clean energy by 2030 could help prevent 600 million tons of CO₂ emissions.

With up to $700 billion in investments and projected 3 million new jobs in solar and wind, it is more than an energy project.

In Africa, we are sitting on some of the world’s richest renewable energy potential, yet too many still live without electricity. It does not have to be this way. The energy transition is our chance to build a more just, green, and connected future.

Let us flip the switch together.

The transition to renewables is irreversible and it is now or never.

From record-breaking heatwaves to rising sea levels, the climate crisis is no longer a distant threat. It is here, and it is urgent. But there is still hope and that hope lies in renewable energy.

Once in the dark without access to electricity, the village of Elan in Garissa County, Kenya, is now lighting the way with renewable energy!

This is what the power of renewable energy in communities can do.

The future is bright and it is renewable!

It is not just about cutting carbon emissions. It is also about improving public health, protecting forests, reducing the burden on women and girls and building climate-resilient communities.

This should make us realize the intersectionality of transitioning to renewable energy.
