Road to COP28

in partnership with

Climate Finance

Africa needs to receive billions of dollars in extra climate funding if it is to counter the impacts of climate change. How is Africa making its demands heard in international forums?

Carbon Markets

Carbon trading may be a useful concept, or even an effective tool, but can it provide a systemic solution to the problem of global warming? We look at how Africa can make the most of the controversial schemes.

Energy Transition

Africa has a wealth of unexplored fossil fuels, but is also moving quickly towards renewable energy sources. How can Africa strike the balance between the immediate gains of fossil fuel exploitation and the huge future opportunity of green growth?

Disaster Risk Management

As climate impacts worsen in Africa, it is imperative that the continent prepares itself for a range of disasters, from flooding to droughts. We look at the key projects and technological innovations that the continent is using to defend itself.

Green Minerals

Critical minerals - which Africa has in abundance - are key to the green technologies of the future. While exports will be lucrative, local processing will be key to unlocking full value.

Biodiversity

Africa has some of the world’s most precious ecosystems, including vast carbon-storing rainforests of global significance. Protecting biodiversity is both a response and challenge to global warming.
