Abstract

Within the 2030 Agenda, the Sustainable Development Goal 7 - ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all - emphasizes the issue of energy accessibility, but implicitly indicates that this goal should not compromise climate change mitigation strategies, and thus reaffirms the nexus between access to clean energy and sustainable development. Sea4cities, featuring an innovative paradigm evolution in terms of epistemological and methodological approaches, allows local and European organizations to work together in a process of mutual growth and exchange and share different skills, learning from experiences, which are all convened in a platform for disseminating knowledge in order to lay the foundations for an autonomous development path in the territories covered by the research. With an original approach to the current literature on the subject, more oriented to rural or remote areas lacking infrastructures, the research deals with the issue of accessibility to sustainable energy in urban areas of sub-Saharan Africa with a focus on Senegal, stemming from the prospects of urban growth also in these contexts. [...]the study sets out to overcome barriers, starting from a deep understanding of the characters of the specific contexts, where the most advanced experiences conducted in industrialized countries do not represent a model but a reference, a set of methodologies that must be interpreted and adapted to the local reality.
