The `Green Transitions Authors Workshop’ organized by The Brookings at The Bellagio Centre (Italy) on June 13-17, 2022, gathered experts in the field to discuss `The Green Transition Imperative and Implications for Developing Countries. The event features a volume of advancing developing country voices for low-carbon economic success. The key question is: what new economic narratives and global actions can help catalyze progress toward inclusive green growth in emerging markets and developing economies? This target requires supporting and elevating case-study examples that reframe existing discourse from one of simply reducing emissions to one that points to a bold vision for a just, equitable, green, and prosperous sustainable development path for developing economies. AERC’s contribution focuses on the challenges and opportunities of climate change in East Africa and is co-authored by Njuguna Ndung’u (Executive Director, AERC) and Théophile Azomahou (Director of Training, AERC).
