Summary/Abstract: The energy transition relates to environmental and climate issues by focusing on global warming to consider the gradual emergence of fossil fuels and the development of renewable energies. Especially since energy is the main GHG emission source at the global level, which makes absolutely necessary the fight against climate change… Where we need to decarbonize the economy The last two international meetings – COP21 and COP22 – have set a goal of limiting global warming to less than + 2° C by the end of the century, which has materialized in the Agreement from Paris. For Africa and other developing countries, it is planned to finance the North for its benefit of USD 100 billion by 2020. In Marrakech, it is decided to catalyze the transition in Africa towards a green economy and to direct capital flows for efficient, sustainable and low-carbon infrastructure projects. The paper will try to highlight the energy transition in the world, its assessment and evolution by region, and green finance. Then focus on the state of play and prospects for Africa, in light of COP21 and COP22.
