A shift toward a green economy requires moving beyond traditional linear resource extraction to a model based on low-carbon energy and resource efficiency. Global investment in clean energy has now surpassed fossil fuel spending, driven by the falling cost of solar photovoltaics and the rise of ESG investing. Policy tools like carbon pricing and green bonds are essential for scaling these transitions. In Africa, Kenya serves as a primary example of success, leveraging geothermal and wind power to generate over 90% of its electricity from renewable sources.
