Current Situation,Significance and Challenges of Clean Energy Development in Africa:Direction of China-Africa Green Belt and Road Cooperation
The global energy transition and demand for key minerals for green development offer new oppor-tunities for Africa's new industrialization.Clean energy development is not only the only way for Africa to ad-vance new industrialization but also the key to reshaping Africa's politics,economy and society.At present,the development of clean energy in Africa is gradually characterized by diversification of development sub-jects,increased investment volume,expansion of technological and policy support,and market-oriented ener-gy development.The reason why clean energy development can become an important support for Africa to carry out new industrialization is that the characteristics of clean energy development industrial chain are very consistent with those of African countries'industrial development at the present stage.Specifically,the upstream industry is rich in resources but lacks necessary development equipment,the midstream industry faces infrastructure deficiencies to withstand external shocks,and the downstream market is huge but lacks necessary industrial chain support.Therefore,as an important partner of Africa's clean energy development,China should strengthen investment cooperation with Africa in related infrastructure construction and the whole industrial chain of clean energy development,and facilitate green Belt and Road cooperation to support African countries'transition into the process of new industrialization.
