"By focusing on the need to balance climate and development goals in Africa, the authors fill a conspicuous knowledge gap on the reality that transition pathways for countries in the Global South will look very different to those in the Global North" - ¿¿Dr Zainab¿ Usman, Senior Fellow and Director, Africa Program, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace

"This book presents a bold new vision for African agency and leadership in a changing climate. It shows how a proactive strategy offers African countries the clearest path to development in a world shaped by climate change" - Prof Thomas Hale, Associate Professor in Public Policy (Global Public Policy), Blavatnik School of Government, University of Oxford

"The authors have done a timely and excellent job in articulating a 'just transition' from an African perspective" - Dr Bhim Adhikari (PhD), Senior Environmental Economist, Canada's International Development Research Centre (IDRC)
