FACTSHEET: Development of an Action for Sustainable Access to Energy and Climate (SEACAP)

By 2050, the urban population in Africa is projected to grow from 400 million to 1.26 billion. African cities must respond to these challenges in order to be able to give a sustainable future to their citizens and to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. As such, ensuring access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy, as well as adapting to the effects of climate change are among the most pressing issues for the people of Africa.
