Experts gathered in Addis Ababa, on 14-15 January 2016, at the United Nations Conference Centre, to review the upcoming 2016 edition of the Economic Report on Africa, entitled “Greening Africa’s Industrialization”. The 2016 edition of the Economic Report on Africa (ERA 2016) builds on the key messages of the previous editions of ERA, putting emphasis on industrialization and structural transformation. It focuses on greening industrialization and highlights potential sustainable and people-centred industrialization paths. Given the impacts of climate change, resource scarcities and environmental degradation, measures for de-risking Africa’s development are critical.
