Mission 300 Accelerator CEO @aherscowitz urged that without energy access, there won't be an energy transition. Initiatives like the @WorldBank's and @AfDB_Group's Mission 300 aims to connect 300M Africans to clean electricity to advance the just energy transition. #WBGMeetings

Remembering Namibian President Hage Geingob, an early, visionary supporter of Power Africa’s “Mega Solar” project that aims to bring thousands of megawatts of solar power to Southern Africa. A loss for Namibia, Africa, the world, and the global climate agenda. Rest in peace.
