After three months of intensive learning, research, mentorship, and practical engagement, our NextGen Resource Governance Leaders Programme (Cohort 10) has come to a successful close.
The journey culminated in a Policy Seminar where the NextGen Leaders presented their work on critical issues shaping Africa's energy future, including battery energy storage systems, energy and industrialisation, the energy transition, and the governance of critical minerals.
More than an internship, this programme has been a transformative experience equipping a new generation of ethical, innovative, and purpose-driven leaders ready to contribute to sustainable development and good governance across Africa.

Ghanaโs solar PV industry is more than an energy solutionโit is an opportunity for industrialisation, job creation, and local enterprise development.
Key insights from the Climate Action Dialogue:
๐น The solar PV value chain extends beyond panels to installation, maintenance, logistics, and manufacturing of components such as mounting structures.
๐น Affordable, long-term finance is essential for local firms to invest, grow, and compete.
๐น SMEs are critical to localisation, skills development, decent work, and local value addition.
A successful energy transition will require coordinated policy, regulatory, financial, and institutional support to maximise local economic benefits.

Africaโs clean energy transition presents more than an environmental opportunity, it is an economic one. Beyond solar panel assembly, the solar PV value chain offers significant opportunities for local SMEs in installation, maintenance, accessories, recycling, technical services, and more.
As solar energy expands, the focus must also be on creating decent jobs, building local capacity, and ensuring Ghana captures greater value from the renewable energy economy.

The conversations are about to get more intense.
The ideas, bolder.
The urgency, clearer than ever.
As Africa pushes toward industrial transformation, one question remains central: How do we build energy systems that drive value addition, strengthen competitiveness, and power sustainable growth?
At FEC 2026 happening on 25-26 August, policymakers, industry leaders, researchers, investors, and young change makers will come together to shape the future of Africaโs energy and industrial agenda.
The countdown begins.

This yearโs Africa Climate Academy brought together 50 participants from over 20 African countries, creating a vibrant space for learning, collaboration, and reflection on the climate challenges shaping our continent.
From law, media, civil society, government, academia, finance, and grassroots advocacy, the diversity of voices reinforced one key message: climate change is not a distant issue. It affects every sector of African life โ from food systems and public health to governance, energy, and economic resilience.

At the closing ceremony, ACEPโs Executive Director, Mr. @benboakye , noted that the global energy transition is no longer only about climate action, but increasingly about who controls the industries, critical minerals, technologies, and power systems of the future.
For Africa, this means climate conversations must also reflect the economic and geopolitical realities shaping the global energy transition, while positioning the continent to secure greater value and influence within the emerging energy order.
Beyond the sessions, the Academy continues to build a growing network of African climate leaders committed to driving accountability, influencing policy, and shaping a climate-resilient future for the continent.

Over the past few days at the Africa Climate Academy, participants have engaged in insightful discussions on methane management and ESG integration in Africaโs climate discourse.
Conversations examined methane emissions across the agriculture, waste, and energy sectors, with particular attention to the oil and gas industry, where participants explored key methane detection and abatement measures. Discussions also highlighted the urgent need for stronger Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (MRV) frameworks across Africa to support effective regulation and accountability.
Sessions further explored the importance of embedding ESG frameworks into climate action, reinforcing that climate change is not an abstract issue, but one deeply connected to health, livelihoods, governance, and economic resilience.
The Academy continues to emphasise African-led solutions, collaboration, and knowledge-sharing in shaping a just and sustainable climate future for the continent.
We are grateful to our facilitators Ebenezer Asumang, Nader Khalifa, and Dr. Charles G. Ofori.

Day 1 at the Africa Climate Academy reminded us that climate change is not only a scientific issue. It is political, economic, developmental, and a governance issue.
From climate science and Africaโs climate hotspots to adaptation, mitigation, energy transition, global governance, and system change, the conversations were timely and necessary.
One message stood out clearly: climate change is no longer a future threat; it is already here.
Africaโs climate future will depend on:
โข Climate-informed planning
โข Stronger institutions
โข Resilient infrastructure
โข Better financing systems
โข Integrated governance
โข Inclusive decision-making
The conversation continues...

โClimate change is no longer a distant conversation for Africa; it is a reality we are already living" Dr. Ishmael Ackah (Technical Advisor to Ghanaโs Ministry of Energy and former Executive Secretary of the Public Utilities Regulatory Commission) challenged participants at this yearโs Africa Climate Academy to rethink Africaโs role in global climate discussions.
He noted that for too long, Africaโs engagement has centred on attending COP negotiations and seeking funding, without enough focus on how the continent can shape its own future. He urged Africa to leverage its critical minerals, pension funds, human capital, research, data, and emerging technologies like AI to drive resilience, electrification, and sustainable development.
He reiterated that climate change presents challenges, but it also offers Africa an opportunity to lead through innovation, stronger collaboration, and bold policy choices.

Under the auspices of the Africa Centre for Energy Policy (ACEP), the Africa Climate Academy begins in Accra from 18โ22 May 2026.
The one-week programme brings together policymakers, media professionals, state actors, legal practitioners, civil society, and academia to deepen dialogue on climate change, energy transition, and Africaโs development priorities.
Key focus areas include climate risks and Africaโs vulnerabilities, climate negotiations, energy transition governance, methane and super pollutants, climate finance, and a field visit to Safisana, a waste-to-energy firm.
Together, we are shaping critical conversations on Africaโs climate future.
