Green Jobs & the Future of Work

Africa’s energy transition is reshaping jobs, skills, and the future of work. This category explores green jobs in Africa, renewable energy employment, and how the shift to sustainable industries is transforming livelihoods across the continent. From clean energy value chains and local manufacturing to workers’ rights, reskilling, and social protection, these stories examine whether the green economy is creating decent, inclusive, and secure jobs. We ask critical questions about who benefits from the transition — and how Africa’s green future can deliver dignity, opportunity, and shared prosperity for current and future generations.
