This book addresses the reduction of fossil energy use, climate change, and economic progress in developing countries, aimed at the Global Studies Program. The research spans southern and west Africa, India, and Germany. The International Energy Agency (IEA) highlighted that energy efficiency could decrease overall consumption by 30%, a figure applicable to industrialized nations. In contrast, Africa has seen a 5% increase in oil intensity over the past two decades, exacerbated by rising oil prices that heighten the vulnerability of developing economies. The book proposes an innovative strategy to reduce national oil consumption by considering the socio-economic contexts of these countries, thereby supporting economic progress through policy implementation. It targets policymakers, the development community, academia, and the interested public. The author, Sebastian Veit, holds an M.A. in Social Science in Globalization and a B.A. in Business and Economics. He has worked as a freelance consultant for organizations like the UNFCCC, GTZ, and the World Bank. His global studies have underscored the importance of incorporating local perspectives in combating poverty. By leveraging his interdisciplinary experience, he emphasizes the necessity of considering socio-economic and cultural backgrounds to devise effective solutions, aiming to enhance his expertise in development strategy and sustainable energy services for poverty allev
