Welcome back to Global Tales of Carbon Transition! In our Season 2 premiere, Jacqueline, Eric, and Joachim sit with Ciara Remeshied, Director at Shortlist Futures, to explore Africa’s green job revolution. A staggering 3.3 MILLION new jobs are projected by 2030, primarily in solar, climate-smart agriculture, and the surprisingly massive waste remediation sector! Ciara dives into the nitty-gritty, revealing how these jobs aren't just numbers, but opportunities for economic empowerment, particularly for women. She shares inspiring stories of women gaining skills in solar installation and last-mile delivery, overcoming barriers like access to safety equipment, and maximizing earning potential through innovative training programs. The conversation sparks with insights into community-level impacts, highlighting how mini-grids and demand stimulation can transform lives.
