Download Is South Africa ready to give up coal?
Africa is still heavily reliant on fossil fuels to generate electricity.
In West and North Africa, oil reigns supreme.
And in southern Africa, particularly South Africa, coal still wears the crown.
As global leaders prepare to discuss solutions to climate change at the COP26 summit, moving away from fossil fuels will be high on the agenda.
But transitioning to renewable energy is difficult and expensive.
So, is southern Africa ready to make the switch?
