The African Development Bank’s African Development Report 2012 explores the need for green growth in Africa’s development process. The report, “Towards Green Growth in Africa”, addresses a number of challenges facing the continent in the 21st century, including climate change, population growth, and the combined influence of these factors on energy transformation and agricultural markets. The report encourages a broader integration of sectors in the development process, the need for high-level political commitment in charting long-term development goals and the need for the AfDB and other multilateral and bilateral organizations to facilitate the transition to green growth in Africa.
