ATLANTIC COUNCIL AFRICA ENERGY FORUM - Join the Atlantic Council’s Africa Center for the Africa Energy Forum on the margins of the United Nations General Assembly session in New York.

In the United States, President Donald Trump is shifting US foreign policy and pursuing both an “America first” agenda and a major overhaul in the energy space. Meanwhile, Africa still faces the world’s most acute energy access challenge, with over six hundred million people still lacking electricity. At the same time, the continent contributes less than 4 percent of global emissions. With Africa hosting many gas resources, will Trump’s drill policy meet with Africa’s demand for the recognition of gas as an important fuel for the energy transition?

The Africa Energy Forum, the Africa Center’s flagship event, is part of the center’s Critical Minerals Task Force. Join us by registering below.

This event is part of our #ACinNY series happening on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly.
