The graph showing emissions decreasing in Africa is from the consumption of energy decreasing, not from more solar/wind or something.
Simply put they're getting poorer and using fewer resources as a result.

Or energy efficiency is also now cost effective. LEDs are the laziest and most obvious example that come to mind. But even any appliance you buy today has less power consumption due to inexorable march of technological progress.
