Energy Sustainability in African Higher Education:
The adoption of sustainable energy practices in HEIs is key to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to mitigate the impacts of climate change. The use of renewable energy sources analogous with solar, wind, geothermal, hydropower, and biomass can help HEIs achieve their sustainability goals while also providing educational opportunities for students and staff.
Impact of Information and Communication Technologies and Renewable
The pursuit of economic growth has implications for carbon emissions and climate change. Achieving low carbon development is important for attaining the targets of the sustainable development goals. Africa is often described as a largely import-dependent continent. The continent also requires significant investment in information and communication technologies
