Effects of the Russian invasion in Ukraine on the energy transition and daily life of people in Africa — with Rim Berahab

In this episode we talk with Rim Berahab, who works as a Senior Economist at the Policy Center for the New South, a think-tank based in Morocco. Her work at the Policy Center focuses on energy issues and their impacts on economic growth and long-term development.

We discuss how the disruptions induced by the war in Ukraine are impacting the daily life of people, government budgets and debt positions in African countries. We will also take a look at the implications for investments in renewables across the continent and what new oil & gas projects mean for the clean energy transition in Africa.
