At the TICAD Conference, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres highlighted Africa's potential to become a renewable energy superpower, with resources ranging from solar and wind power to critical minerals. Guterres called for mobilizing funds and technologies to turn the continent's natural wealth into benefits for its people. He stressed the need to avoid debt constraining development and called for greater lending capacity from multilateral banks. Japan, the conference host, wants to present itself as an alternative to China's influence in Africa.
