What Does Africa's Energy Future Look Like Amid Climate Change?

As the world scrambles for energy, many African countries are harnessing their oil and gas reserves: The Democratic Republic of Congo is auctioning off land rights in rainforests and peatlands, while Nigeria, Niger and Algeria are planning to pipe gas to Europe. Are there alternative ways for African countries to fund development and achieve economic justice besides tapping fossil fuel reserves? What solutions exist and what responsibility does the rest of the world have to help realize them?
