– Africa Climate Justice
– Decolonizing Climate Action
– Sustainable Development in Africa
As Africa grapples with the effects of climate change, a growing debate questions whether the continent can achieve true climate justice without falling into the green capitalism trap. Many argue that current climate policies, driven by Western financial interests, prioritize profit over real sustainability and equity.
Experts suggest that Africa must forge its own climate solutions by leveraging indigenous knowledge, fostering community-driven adaptation, and promoting locally-led renewable energy projects. Critics warn that dependency on international carbon markets and corporate-driven green initiatives may perpetuate economic inequalities rather than solve them.
For Africa to break free from the constraints of green capitalism, policymakers and activists emphasize the need for decolonized climate action, fair financing models, and a transition strategy that prioritizes people over profits.
