It is more important than ever that Africa develops a common vision for its critical minerals, and a regional development strategy anchored in these minerals.

🌍Africa's pivotal role in the green-tech revolution is undeniable, underlined by the continent's bountiful reserves of critical minerals like #lithium 🔋. This insightful article outlines Africa's tremendous potential, given its strategic position on the global stage. At @Lithium Africa, we share the vision proposed by the African Green Minerals Strategy (AGMS) - that transitioning from a resource extractive model to a value-addition model focused on #sustainabledevelopment. We aim to responsibly harness these resources to foster economic resilience, while ensuring environmental stewardship.

AFRICA SUPPLY CHAINS&LOGISTICS DEMAND SURGE FORECAST. The Call for transition from high carbon emmisions to sustainable energy sources ushers high demand for Africa to set its supply chains strategies right.There is a concern of infrasture interlinkages development such as roads and rail and warehousing systems if Africa is to supply such essential metals for clean energy to the world. # AGLOSS Conference 2024 ,Kenya will be tabling these issues for progressive Logistics Sustainability in the COMESA regional.Global Africa Business Initiative ,COMESA Secretariat AFRICA DEVELOPMENT BANK

As Africa continues to navigate the complexities of its mineral wealth, the continent must balance immediate economic benefits with long-term sustainability and equity. The Africa Mining Vision and initiatives like regional cooperation provide a roadmap for harnessing resources in a way that promotes economic growth, environmental stewardship, and social inclusivity. By redefining its relationship with natural resources, Africa can transform its mineral wealth into a cornerstone of sustainable development, ensuring that its riches benefit all its people, now and in the future: https://wp.me/p1rucC-kM

We encourage companies that source minerals such as cobalt to be proactive in corporate social responsibility efforts. The global transition to green energy will depend largely on the resource-rich Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). What will this mean for the DRC and how can companies ensure that they are not adding to the current crisis and fight for minerals in the DRC? Today's event, "Congo's Minerals and the Green Energy Transition", will explore this topic in depth: https://lnkd.in/gEC6MquZ #corporatesocialresponsibility #ethicalsourcing #congo #DRC #democraticrepublicofcongo

Africa's rich mineral resources like cobalt, copper, and lithium are key to clean energy and a prosperous future. At a recent event themed “Maximizing Africa's potential: Leveraging demand for critical minerals to boost inclusive growth and sustainable development” different leaders and stakeholders join to explored ways to optimize the development benefits of these minerals. ➡️The #UN advocates for local processing and regional cooperation to ensure these minerals drive sustainable development and uplift communities. "We must embrace a new paradigm that prioritizes domestic value addition, fosters regional integration and empowers local communities” - argued Rebeca Grynspan, UN Trade and Development Secretary-General. Together, we can harness these resources for a brighter, more equitable tomorrow. Our exploration approach aims to build a more sustainable and equitable future that benefits the development of local communities and foreign stakeholders. 🌍🔋 #SustainableDevelopment #CleanEnergy #AfricaRising
