On September 23 at 1:30 p.m. ET, the Atlantic Council’s Africa Center will host the Africa Energy Forum on the margins of the United Nations General Assembly session in New York.

In the United States, President Donald Trump is shifting US foreign policy and pursuing both an “America first” agenda and a major overhaul in the energy space. Meanwhile, Africa still faces the world’s most acute energy access challenge, with over six hundred million people still lacking electricity. At the same time, the continent contributes less than 4 percent of global emissions. With Africa hosting many gas resources, will Trump’s drill policy meet with Africa’s demand for the recognition of gas as an important fuel for the energy transition?

The Africa Energy Forum, the Africa Center’s flagship event, is part of the center’s Critical Minerals Task Force. Join us by registering below.

In-person attendees will be required to show photo ID upon arrival. We highly encourage pre-registration by 5:00 p.m. ET on Monday, September 22.
