File:Energy jobs by sector in African regions, 2019-2050.png

Set of five bar charts illustrating job projections across sector and African region. The sectors highlighted are: vehicle charging infrastructure, hydrogen, nuclear, grids and flexibility, energy efficiency, renewables, and fossil fuels. The charts show job creation estimates across multiple scenarios: 1) an ambitious energy transition scenario (1.5-S) that aims to reach the global 1.5 degree Celsius goal, and 2) a scenario based on current plans, dubbed the Planned Energy Scenario (PES). In North Africa, 1.5-S will severely decrease fossil fuel jobs and replace them with renewables and grids. In West Africa, fossil fuel jobs are consistent across scenarios but decrease relative to 2019, and 1.5-S consistently creates more jobs. In East Africa, 1.5-S will severely decrease fossil fuel jobs and replace them with renewables and grids. Central Africa sees about the same number of fossil fuel jobs across sector, which does not decrease after 2019. In Southern Africa, 1.5-S will severely decrease fossil fuel jobs and replace them with renewables and grids.
