Abstract: The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) recognize the need to leave no one behind. Africa, a continent of about 1.5b people is confronted with widespread poverty and insecurity without which, African States and Governments cannot curb poverty and sustainably holistically appreciate the progressive technological transitions taking center stage globally and create wealth for and amongst Africans. As such, the continent cannot sustainably develop partly due to the lack of innovations, this is the epoch in which the continent needs to take keen interest in its full involvement in the technological transitions that are occurring globally. Without sustainable development, the continent will continue to face challenges in maintaining peace and security because the widespread poverty stricken populations in African states continue to disrupt peace and stability by agitating for an inclusive development process. Governance is a key corridor that could enhance democratic and inclusive governance on the continent. Africans, in this quagmire, are being left behind out of the global transitions occurring in the context of globalization, climate change mitigation, environmental management, technological advancement, etc. This Chapter therefore seeks to examine the opportunities and challenges that Africa is confronted with amidst the global transitions that are occurring as the SDGs near their end by 2030. The qualitative research methodology is utilized for this research.
