TED: The energy Africa needs to develop -- and fight climate change | Rose M. Mutiso

The video discusses global energy inequality, highlighting the disparity between rich and poor nations. It emphasizes Africa's need for development and energy access, arguing that Africa should be allowed to produce more carbon in the short term to grow economically. The video also addresses Africa's minimal contribution to climate change and the need for energy to adapt to climate impacts. It criticizes the economic inequality created by restricting energy access and calls for a balanced approach to achieving a zero-carbon future.
