This edited volume explores Africa’s pathways and prospects toward a green transition in the context of climate change and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The chapters in this volume are rooted in Ubuntu philosophy and examine multiple pathways that promote responsible growth, regional integration, and sustainable development. Topics covered here include but are not limited to green energy, finance, production, marketing, human resource management, and artificial intelligence. The book highlights opportunities and challenges in achieving carbon neutrality and inclusive development through effective governance and collaboration.
