Private investment in clean energy projects is growing: in sub-Saharan Africa, it’s approaching US$40 billion a year. These “green transition” investments in solar and wind power are meant to benefit the environment and develop the communities where they are based. I am a specialist in natural resource governance and in a recent paper I looked
