Africa faces an energy divide: more than 600 million people lack electricity, and many more cannot cleanly cook or cool their homes. Belgium has shown leadershio in climate diplomacy, and support for clean technologies. By supporting the Scaling Up Renewables in Africa campaign, Belgium can help unlock renewable energy projects that bring light, health, and opportunity to communities far from the grid.
This November’s G20 Summit in South Africa is a key moment for global leaders to step up. Messages from citizens will show Belgium’s government that people want it to invest in renewable energy for Africa — to power one million homes, strengthen economies, and protect our planet.
