00:08 The priorities of Africa in the path of energy transition.

00:12 This is the theme at the center of the second day of the conference

00:15 that inaugurates the new Eni & Luis network.

00:18 During the morning, a comparison on various topics,

00:21 where members of the various delegations have identified a series of crucial points,

00:25 from the distribution to the consumption of energy,

00:28 up to access to sources throughout the continent

00:30 and the creation of sustainable development systems.

00:33 We are very satisfied, I must say that when we started this initiative with Luis,

00:38 at least I personally did not think that we would have reached this level in its inaugural version.

00:43 This level means a wide, authoritative presence from the African side

00:50 and above all capable of representing many, many different instances,

00:54 because there were the energy instances, but there were also the instances of food security,

00:59 there were the academia instances, there is a real risk of unbalanced perception.

01:07 Having places where all these instances are compared together,

01:11 in my opinion, allows the level of mutual awareness to grow

01:15 and we know that in order to move political decision-makers,

01:19 in order to move public opinions, the debate must be correctly fed.

01:24 If we put good information in it, so a type of debate of these two days,

01:30 we can have the reasonable expectation that the output of this debate

01:34 is also more reasonable, more pragmatic, more in line with the expectations,

01:38 not only ours, but also theirs.

01:39 Today's event, the conference, was a very useful event, absolutely well-received,

01:44 so a big thank you to Eni and Luis.

01:48 I think that more than putting the vases, to use a chemical term,

01:53 it catalyzes, that is, it accelerates even more the process of cooperation,

01:57 because in 2023 you cannot think of sitting at a table to create tools of cooperation

02:05 if you do not feel at the same level and if you do not really speak the same language.

02:10 Africa is really a continent, the continent of the future.

02:14 Surely we must find the key to harmony, to speak the same language,

02:19 but I think we have already reached a good point.

02:24 You cannot, how to say, disregard Africa in designing the future of the world,

02:30 especially from an energy point of view.

02:32 The conference thus opened a space for dialogue and comparison between the offices of the two continents,

02:38 in the context of a constant cooperation to face the climate challenge and energy security.

02:44 The energy transition means changing the habits in production, distribution and energy consumption

02:55 and doing it in a sustainable way.

03:00 The priority in the Ivory Coast and in Africa itself is, first of all, access to energy, to electricity,

03:12 because a large part of the African population does not have it.

03:16 We must therefore find solutions to guarantee access to electricity, equal to 100%.

03:25 The second thing is to promote sustainability.

03:30 We must reduce our dependence on fossil fuels and, finally, encourage energy efficiency.

03:43 Thank you.
