Africa has some of the best solar, wind, and geothermal potential on the planet. However, millions on the continent still live without reliable power, and poverty is a daily reality. But why is this the case? On this episode, Steve Mokaya, sits down with Wanjira Maathai, Managing Director for Africa and Global Partnerships at the World Resources Institute, who is also the daughter of Nobel Laureate Prof. Wangari Maathai, to dig into that question. She explains how protecting forests, investing African capital in African innovation, and building green industries could turn the continent’s natural wealth into economic transformation.
