Africa Climate Conversations.
Africa is often called the "dark continent" because it is one of the least energy-rich continents, even though it has a lot of minerals that have helped grow mostly the western economies but at the expense of the continent's poor majority. For the green shift to happen, these minerals are very important. Is Africa, on the other hand, positioning itself to benefit from this green shift? Africa is the worst affected by climate change even though it has done the least to cause it. However, the continent is asked to keep its resources down in order to save the world from getting too hot, even though those who have historically been responsible for helping the continent are still growing using fossil fuels and have not done enough to provide finance or nay other means of support. Why should Africa take a lead defining just transition? Over the years, news about the continent have been shaped by others while political news dominated the local media until recently, leaving climate and environmental issues mostly to foreign outlets. Africa Climate Conversations (ACC) believes that Africa needs to shape these narratives, among others, for the benefit of its current and future generations, and the ACC podcast will do its best to lead in shaping these narratives.Podcasts
