Just Transitions in Africa: Simulation-Based Insights

The Millennium Institute invites you to join our upcoming webinar exploring the critical role of just transitions in achieving sustainable development across the African continent. This event will provide insights into the challenges and opportunities shaping these transitions,  and showcase our work in various African countries using strategic analysis and data-driven insights to find just transition strategies with the Sustainable Development Simulator (iSDG Model).

Key Topics

• Integrating sustainability into national development planning.

• The economics of just transitions

• Case studies from African countries: simulation for development planning in Senegal and food systems modeling in Burkina Faso

• Opportunities for collaboration and capacity building.

Who Should Attend

Government officials, policymakers, development planners, and sustainability experts engaged in or interested in the sustainable development and economic transitions in Africa.

Learning Outcomes

Participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of how just transitions can be integrated into sustainable development strategies. They will also learn how economic and simulation can support national planning efforts and see practical examples of simulations applied to real-world projects in Africa.
