SUMMARY:Africa: a fossil fuel victim\, not a villain
DESCRIPTION:Over 640 million Africans have no access to energy\, this is 
 an electricity access rate of just over 40%\, the lowest in the world. P
 er capita consumption of energy in sub-Saharan Africa (excluding South A
 frica) is 180 kWh\, compared to 13\,000 kWh in the United States and 6\,
 500 kWh in Europe. 418 million people have no clean drinking water and a
 round 1 billion no cooking fuels. Africa accounts for 17% of the world’s
  population yet only 5.9% of the world’s energy supply. Africa produces 
 only around 4% of the world’s GHG emissions. Access to energy is fundame
 ntal for health\, education and to create jobs and economic opportunitie
 s. Within transition and carbon reduction objectives\, Africa argues tha
 t one solution does not fit all and for the right to use its fossil fuel
 s\, gas in particular. What will be the future of the region least respo
 nsible for global warming and at the same time\, the most vulnerable and
  least developed?
