African countries and economies are at the centre of competing demands and narratives around the global green transition. Bruce Byiers, Alfonso Medinilla and Karim Karaki identify the dilemmas they face in achieving ‘greener’ economic development pathways, focusing on African narratives on climate and development, external climate regimes, Africa’s first movers and the political economy of greening transport.
