Download or read book A Just Transition written by NJ Ayuk and published by Blackstone Publishing. This book was released on 2023-03-07 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Mr. Ayuk shows how the oil and gas industry can unleash economic development and prosperity across the continent.” —The late OPEC Secretary General, Mohammad Barkindo In just a few short decades, the many countries of our planet have become interconnected beyond our wildest imaginations. And as our view of the world has expanded, there has been a rise in the demand for cultures and political institutions around the world to “think globally.” While thinking globally is often well-meaning, acting globally without consideration for local countries can unintentionally cause harmful results. In A Just Transition, renowned Cameroonian author and entrepreneur NJ Ayuk reveals how this sobering reality is unfolding as the International Energy Agency’s ambitious green energy (IEA) policies have stifled and crippled the energy economies of Africa. When the IEA set a hard requirement for countries around the world to embrace “green” energy sources, the burgeoning energy economies of Africa watched in horror as funding and business interest in their oil and gas energy projects evaporated. With a natural abundance of oil and gas resources, Africa has the potential to be a global energy leader. But this transformation cannot happen for African countries through green energy alone. A Just Transition is an insightful exploration into the possibility of a bright future for African countries and the factors that stand in the way of its manifestation. NJ Ayuk takes listeners on a detailed, expert journey through the following topics: The reality of energy poverty The value of natural gas in Africa How foreign aid actually harms Africa Embracing new technology Creating opportunities for women And much more! With thoughtful governance, a keen eye for opportunity, and the due consideration of the countries affected by a sweeping legislation, it is possible for countries in Africa to make a transition to renewable energy that is not only just but prosperous for all involved.

Book excerpt: How to overcome the challenges of building a business in Africa! We were digital wildcats drilling into an untapped markets filled with piracy. Sami Leino shares his experiences on: -What it takes to build a startup in sub-Saharan Africa -What unites Pan-African entertainment lovers and markets -How to create a household brand in Africa without missing a cultural beat This book is one man's experience of setting up a music streaming service in Africa. Covering three continents and countless time zones, the story reveals the challenges and opportunities of starting a business in Africa, from building an organization from scratch in Scandinavia and San Francisco to expanding into sub-Saharan Africa and beyond. It also takes a sober yet often humorous look at African business practices and culture, while giving tips on how to prevent personnel on all continents from running away screaming. "I had just co-founded a new music streaming service that had no market. So my team and I turned our sights on Africa. People said we were crazy." The goal was to build a music streaming startup into an African household brand. For 800 million people, from scratch. We also wanted to create the first de facto standard for legal music distribution in sub-Saharan Africa. On our journey, we fell in love with sub-Saharan Africa -- its exuberance and energy, its vibrant and entrepreneurial people, its profound contrasts and rich opportunities. From Lagos and Nairobi to Cannes and San Francisco, we overcame the most unexpected challenges with our boots always on the ground. Our story begins in Helsinki and quickly evolves into a company in San Francisco, with deals in London and Paris, banking in Zurich, and gritty business in sub-Saharan Africa. The year and the month was April 2007, when the global music industry was being shook by newcomers like Spotify that were challenging the dominance of iTunes. Europe and the US were crowded. Africa beckoned. What happened on the way is Startup Africa."
