アフリカは気候変動の影響を不均衡に受けながらも、太陽光発電や移行鉱物の豊富な資源を持つ。本論文は、グリーン工業化が経済変革と環境保全を両立させる道筋を分析し、アフリカ大陸自由貿易圏（AfCFTA）の活用により1400万人の雇用とGDP6.4%増加の可能性を示す。しかし、付加価値化と包摂性を優先しないと「グリーン資源の呪い」のリスクがあると警告する。5つの政策提言を導き、世界に包摂的低炭素成長のモデルを提供する。
English
Africa holds 60% of global solar potential and over 30% of transition minerals but contributes only 4% of emissions. This paper analyzes green industrialisation as a transformative development path, leveraging AfCFTA to potentially create 14 million jobs and boost GDP by 6.4% by mid-century. It warns of a 'green resource curse' if value addition and inclusion are neglected. The study offers five policy conclusions and a replicable model for inclusive low-carbon growth.

日本のGX文脈において
日本のアフリカに対する投資や資源外交、特に移行鉱物や再エネ分野での協力に示唆を与える。アフリカのグリーン工業化モデルは、日本のGX戦略における国際連携の参考となる。
In the global GX context
This paper challenges the traditional industrialisation model and offers a blueprint for inclusive green growth. It is relevant for global climate finance, trade reform, and the just transition discourse. It emphasizes the need for value addition in developing countries to avoid resource curse.

📄 Abstract（原文）
Africa stands at a pivotal juncture where urgent development imperatives intersect with escalating climate vulnerabilities. Despite contributing less than 4% of global greenhouse gas emissions, the continent disproportionately bears the consequences of climate disruption. Yet Africa holds 60% of the world's solar irradiation potential, over 30% of globally critical transition minerals, and the youngest, fastest-growing labour force on earth. This paper analyses Africa's green industrialisation as a transformative development pathway that reconciles economic transformation with ecological preservation, drawing on qualitative, policy-oriented analysis of secondary literature, comparative case studies across five sub-regions, and policy documents. The study establishes that deliberately pursued green industrialisation – leveraging renewable energy, local value addition, and the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) – could generate up to 14 million jobs and boost continental GDP by 6.4% by mid-century. However, if value addition and inclusive participation are not prioritised, the continent risks what this paper terms the green resource curse: the reproduction of extractive economic patterns under a green veneer. The study draws five key policy conclusions spanning climate finance, regional value chains, decentralised energy, skills development, and global trade reform. Africa's green industrialisation experience challenges the 'industrialise first, clean up later' paradigm, offering the global community a replicable model of inclusive, low-carbon growth.
