China's investment in Africa's clean energy sector could be the key to the continent's leapfrogging to a sustainable future.

Africa needs to decarbonize its energy industry in a hurry. The continent’s population is rising sharply at the same time that countries across Africa continue to industrialize. As a result, total African energy demand is projected to increase by a full third over the next decade. Meeting that demand will require current levels of energy generation capacity to increase ten-fold by 2065.

After decades of neglecting green energy investments in Africa, the study contends, China could almost single-handedly instigate a clean energy revolution on the continent.
