Climate change poses an increased risk to energy security for human settlements in Africa . With burgeoning urban populations and growing economies, sub-Saharan Africa's electricity needs are growing. The International Energy Agency  projects total generation capacity in Africa must grow 2.5 times from 244 GW in 2018 to 614 GW by 2040 . African nations plan to add significant generation capacity from natural gas, hydropower, wind and solar power. Each of these technologies is associated to a varying degree with climate risk.
