Africa's Net Zero Path: Infrastructure, Sustainability, and Security | Patricia Akinyi | TEDxKisumu

Africa can leapfrog traditional development by embracing a sustainable future. Cities like Kisumu can lead by implementing Net Zero strategies for buildings, emissions, and fuels. While challenges exist - infrastructure gaps, security risks, and potential missed sustainability goals - solutions are available. Businesses can leverage incentives and investments, while cities can pioneer Net Zero approaches. By embracing a sustainable path, Africa can ensure security, economic growth, and global leadership.
