Clean cooking isn’t a side issue; it’s central to a just energy transition. Grateful to join SDSN CEET Council to spotlight 3 priorities: integrate cooking into electrification, scale market finance, and leverage digital tools.  See how: 👉 tinyurl.com/5tsaywn2

“We’re paying trillions of dollars to avoid spending billions."  Annually we spend $2.4T on the fallout from dirty cooking, while investing just $2.5B in solutions.   This is a development failure. Clean cooking is climate, health, gender & economic justice.

2.1B people still cook over open fires. Clean cooking is essential for health, equity & climate - not just energy.⚡️ Let’s embed it into electrification planning. We need $4.5B/yr to meaningfully scale. UN Development shows how: 👉 tinyurl.com/5tsaywn2

Renewable #energy isn’t just a climate imperative; it’s a precondition for #digital economies and inclusive growth. By 2030, #AI will create +170M new jobs. The key to unlocking this? Youth, energy access & skills.  Solutions are already here: 👉 bit.ly/seh-bulletin-j…

Unlocking the $8.75B AI-in-Energy opportunity for women means action now. Women make up <20% of the energy workforce & 1/3 in AI - yet are x2.5 higher risk of automation. Inclusive skills, data & support for women-led innovation must lead the way: 👉 bit.ly/seh-bulletin-j…

Africa is where the energy and digital transitions converge. Inclusive AI, integrated clean energy & digital infrastructure and local value creation can redefine development. The question isn’t if Africa can lead - but how to lead equitably and sustainably.⚡️ #OxfordAfrica2025

A 50hrs water outage in Maldives wasn’t from scarcity - but a failed pump. At the TIDE Retreat, we explored how innovation must prioritize equity, governance, and resilience. From AI tariffs in Kenya, to solar in Bangladesh, we must optimize for people, not just power.⚡️

Ravie d’avoir rencontré M. Riad Meddeb, Directeur du Hub Énergie Durable au PNUD et de confirmer que le leadership onusien à Djibouti est entre les meilleures mains. Heureuse surprise d’avoir Dr Amir Lebdioui ici, ses travaux sur la diversification éco m’ont sauvés + d’une fois.

A just transition isn’t just about clean technology; it’s about who benefits. We must shift to local value creation, close the digital divide and align finance with inclusive development. The energy transition must be smart, fast & fair: 👉 tinyurl.com/y6h3uhfa
