IEA's latest Global Energy Review predicts that energy-related carbon-dioxide emissions will rise by 1.5 gigatonnes to 33 gigatonnes in 2021, an increase of almost 5% - the largest since 2010 following the global financial crisis 2007-2009 as governments invested on carbon-intensive projects to pick up their economies. If this prediction is proven then it will be a clear warning that the economic recovery from the COVID crisis is unsustainable for our climate.

The authors discuss how the African Continental Free Trade Agreement (AfCFTA) can be used to strengthen the energy sector, and make better use of Africa's abundant renewable energy resources to meet its vast demand.

Two years ago business magnate Richard Branson launched a competition to cut the carbon impact of residential cooling to 1/5 of today's standard.
