Ghana kicked off December 2025 with a powerful statement on youth empowerment and sustainable development, hosting the prestigious Youth Energy Summit (YES) on the Road. The event brought together a dynamic mix of youth innovators, global energy companies, and industry experts from across the world to Accra, reinforcing Ghana’s growing influence in the global energy dialogue.

Among the distinguished speakers was Hon. Eric Edem Agbana, who served as a panelist during high-level discussions on the future of energy, youth leadership, and sustainable development. Reflecting on the experience, Hon. Agbana described the summit as “a strategic platform to share perspectives, shape thinking, and reinforce Ghana’s role in driving youth-led solutions in the global energy transition.”

The summit emphasized the critical role of young people in shaping the future of clean energy, with sessions focused on innovation, policy, and investment in Africa’s energy ecosystem. Hon. Agbana’s participation highlighted his continued advocacy for youth inclusion in national and global decision-making processes, particularly in sectors as vital as energy and climate resilience.

The event also served as a networking hub, fostering collaboration between emerging African talent and international stakeholders committed to a just and inclusive energy transition.

As Ghana positions itself as a leader in sustainable development and youth empowerment, the success of YES on the Road signals a promising future for the continent’s energy landscape—one driven by the passion, creativity, and leadership of its youth.
