Energy and ecological transitions are currently major challenges throughout the world, particularly in Africa, where the effects of global warming are causing enormous damage to environmental and agricultural ecosystems. In addition, the war in Ukraine is demonstrating how important it is for Africa to meet the challenges of energy and food sovereignty through an appropriate approach to the management of the continent's enormous energy sources. Here we address the issues of energy resources in Africa and their geopolitical and geostrategic implications for sustainable development in Africa. We place particular emphasis on the importance of developing renewable energies, and especially on the importance of widespread access to solar energy, which could bring about considerable positive changes in access to energy for all in Africa.
