Description

In this episode of Greenomics, we speak with the International Energy Agency's critical minerals analyst Shobhan Dhir and Oxford Economics Africa's Lead Political Economist Francois Conradie about Africa’s pivotal role in the global green transition. As demand grows for critical minerals like cobalt, copper, and lithium, African nations are navigating opportunities and risks—from boosting local employment to managing geopolitical tensions and environmental concerns. Our conversation highlights key policy moves, infrastructure investments, and the implications for global supply chains and ESG compliance. Building from Oxford Economics Africa’s Green Leap series, this episode sheds light on a fast-evolving landscape at the intersection of sustainability, economics, and international relations.
