Testimonies

"My vision is that African nations would together turn the climate change challenge into opportunities for developing our naturally endowed resources like the African sun, biomass, wind, sustainable hydro, biofuels etc. into attractive investment markets for enhancing our energy security and for export."

Mr. Yaw Afrane Okese Regional Director Energy and Environment Partnership Program, Development Bank of Southern Africa
