Africa's growth is asking for energy Africa is the second most inhabited region globally, after Asia. It is the world’s fastest growing continent in demographic terms By 2030, more than 50% of the Africa's population will be living in cities African economic growth is projected to accelerate to 4% and 4.1% in 2019 and 2020 respectively, but it remains insufficient to address structural challenges Progress in access to electricity is expected throughout the world, but Sub-Saharan Africa lags behind. In 2030, over 600 million people in Africa will be living without access to electricity (36% of the population) Driven in large part by demographic and urbanization trends, energy demand is expected to increase faster than anywhere else globally (at 2.1% per annum) renewAfrica 28 Jan 2020 2 ° Signatories meeting, Brussels 3
