G-SEL NETWORK ON BUSINESS DAY TV : Net Zero vs Energy Access: What Davos Really Means for Nigeria

Описание: At the World Economic Forum in Davos, global leaders renewed commitments to clean energy, net zero, and climate action. But for Nigeria and much of Africa, a critical question remains: how do global climate promises translate into affordable and reliable electricity for millions still living in energy poverty?

In this insightful conversation on Business Morning, Joy Osumi, Regional Manager for Africa at the World Energy Council, breaks down the realities behind the headlines. She explains why Africa’s energy transition cannot follow a one-size-fits-all approach, highlighting the tension between global decarbonisation goals and the urgent need for energy access and economic development.

The discussion explores:

Whether the world is prioritising net zero over human development

Why energy access funding lags behind climate finance

The real outcomes of Davos for Africa and Nigeria

Investor risk, political will, and the challenge of affordability

Key takeaways from the Nigeria House and Africa’s energy agenda towards 2030

Joy emphasises that energy transition must be inclusive, combining renewables, gas-to-power, and infrastructure investment, while calling for stronger accountability from leaders to ensure global commitments deliver real impact on the ground.

This conversation offers critical insight for policymakers, investors, energy professionals, and anyone interested in Africa’s development and the future of global energy.
