本論文は、アフリカのグリーン産業化が経済変革と環境保全を両立する道筋を分析。再生可能エネルギー、移行鉱物の現地加工、アフリカ大陸自由貿易圏（AfCFTA）の活用により、2050年までに1400万人の雇用とGDP6.4％増加が可能と試算。一方、付加価値創出と包摂的参加が欠ければ「グリーン資源の呪い」に陥るリスクを警告。気候変動対策と開発を統合するアフリカの経験は、「まず工業化、後で環境対策」という従来のパラダイムに挑戦する。
English
This paper analyzes Africa's green industrialization as a transformative pathway to reconcile economic growth with ecological preservation. By leveraging renewable energy, local processing of transition minerals, and the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), it could generate 14 million jobs and boost GDP by 6.4% by mid-century. However, it warns of a 'green resource curse' if value addition and inclusive participation are not prioritized. Africa's experience challenges the 'industrialize first, clean up later' paradigm, offering a replicable model of inclusive low-carbon growth.

📄 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.
