This report explores the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead in Latin America’s energy transition. It provides insights on the ways in which the outlook for the region and the biggest global energy trends are deeply intertwined – as well as recommendations on policies that could allow Latin America and the Caribbean to take full […]
This study evaluates the progress that African countries have made in their transition to e-mobility up to 2021.
The e-Mobility Toolbox is an online information portal to support development, implementation and monitoring of innovative electric mobility solutions.
This report investigates different models for the deployment of e-bike fleets and charging/swapping infrastructures in sub-Saharan Africa. It highlights the potential advantages of battery swapping for riders, highlights emerging best practice for Batteries as a Service, and provides recommendations on policy, regulation and financing to support uptake of e-motorcycles and the growth of BaaS in […]
This blog investigates the employment effects of the green transition, and the different actions actors can take to prevent skills gaps and ensure no one is left behind.
People need water, energy, and food to sustain their livelihoods, grow economies, and achieve sustainable development. The interactions between these resource sectors form the crux of water-energy-food (WEF) nexus assessments. This study analyses the WEF nexus of 54 African nations and identifies bottlenecks resulting from water, energy, or food insecurity.
