The African Natural Resource & Energy Investment Summit

The US’s recent on their trading partners has split opinion on the effects to the global economy. It also draws attention to global and national resources, asking questions on how trade deals are made. The top 5 nations by wealth aren’t necessarily the top producers or suppliers. If the world’s economy reflected their resources, Africa would stand alone at the top. As the 21st century’s national requirements change, Africa stands at the precipice of dominating global trade.

The new U.S. administration under President Donald Trump has initiated significant changes affecting Africa. Key actions include halting development assistance, withdrawing from the Paris Climate Agreement and the World Health Organization, and dissolving the President’s Advisory Council on African Diaspora Engagement. These moves signal a substantial shift in U.S.-Africa relations.
•
Why should we care?: These policy changes could lead to reduced support for health, environmental, and economic programs across Africa. Stakeholders in the natural resources and energy sectors may face increased challenges due to the U.S. withdrawal from international agreements like the Paris Climate Agreement, potentially affecting funding and collaboration opportunities.
•
How does this affect Africa?: The suspension of development aid may hinder ongoing projects in energy infrastructure and natural resource management. Exiting the Paris Agreement could slow down climate action initiatives vital for Africa’s environmental sustainability. The dissolution of the advisory council may weaken diaspora engagement, affecting investments and knowledge exchange in the energy and natural resources sectors.

How can African nations mitigate the impact of reduced U.S. support on their energy and natural resource initiatives?
