Energy access in Africa is a key policy priority, given the strict inter-relation between energy, economic growth and … sustainability. The current and projected trends on Africa access to energy and electricity indicate that unless new policies are … implemented, energy access in the continent will remain low, hindering Africa's ability to transition economically. The challenges …

Carbon dioxide removal (CDR) is a potentially important climate strategy for attaining low climate stabilization objectives. However, climate analysis has indicated a possible weakening of the ocean carbon sinks -the largest in the world- in relation to CDR deployment. Here, we provide an...
