flag China boosts Africa’s green transition with financing and projects, creating jobs and cutting emissions, but challenges remain in alignment and governance.

flag China has significantly advanced Africa’s green transition through the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation, providing accessible financing like concessional loans and grants that support renewable energy, green industrialization, and climate projects. flag In Ghana, Chinese-funded initiatives such as hydro-solar plants and eco-industrial upgrades could create 1.2 million green jobs and cut emissions by 35% by 2030, though private-sector engagement and domestic financial alignment remain challenges. flag Ethiopia has received $850 million in Chinese green energy investment since 2011, second only to the World Bank, with Chinese firms driving over 2,000 projects worth $5 billion and creating nearly 600,000 jobs. flag Experts stress the need for stronger African regulatory frameworks and institutional capacity to better align Chinese investments with national climate goals.
