Divided by the Nile and rich in fertile land, Sudan’s agricultural opportunities are vast, and a lifeline for poverty alleviation and the country’s troubled economy. Roughly one-third of Sudan’s 1.886 million km² is suitable for agriculture. But, while some parts are highly productive, others struggle with limited water or electricity supply and other barriers. For many farmers, the solution is simple: using diesel-powered pumps to irrigate fields from nearby wells or waterways. However, limited electrical grid access means reliance on fossil fuels, bringing a host of problems. 65% of Sudan’s 41.8 million people live in rural (often arid) areas and…

Forecasts point to the worst economic contraction since the Great Depression: in 2020, the European Commission spring 2020 forecast anticipates a GDP fall of 7.7% in the euro area and 7.4% in the EU2. Far worse outcomes are possible, as the spring forecast’s downside scenarios illustrate. We are…

While record levels of renewable capacity are continuing to come on line in Australia as a result of previously sanctioned projects, coal and gas still account for about 80% of electricity generation in Australia and new investment in large scale wind and solar generation slumped by around 50% between 2018 and 2019, with the number of projects reaching close dropping to 29 (worth $4.5bn)…
