Varios países africanos están ascendiendo silenciosamente en la cadena de valor de los vehículos eléctricos.

Campo de batalla de la rivalidad sino-estadounidense por los materiales críticos, África podría encontrar una oportunidad en la nueva fragmentación mundial de las cadenas de suministro.

Estudio de caso de la República Democrática del Congo.

Las sucesivas perturbaciones de las cadenas de suministro durante la década de 2010 y los primeros años de la de 2020 han llevado a los responsables políticos y económicos, especialmente en Estados Unidos y Europa, a plantearse formas de mitigar los riesgos asociados a la fuerte dependencia de un número limitado de proveedores, especialmente China.

    Africa is facing a massive electricity deficit that is impacting its economic and social development, and its ability to catch up with the rest of the world.

Economic development in the 21st century will crucially depend on the digi ...

    The energy shock caused by the war between the United States and Israel and Iran has highlighted the need for Africa to refine more of its own crude oil. Africa is a net hydrocarbon exporter, but remains stuck in the old colonial economic model: it mostly exports raw materials and imports refined products. Africa exports about 2.6 billion barrels of crude oil every year, and imports about 1.4 billion barrels of refined products. This is a problem for two reasons. First, Africa ...

    This Paper was originally published on tandfonline.com This paper examines how reductions in transportation costs reshape regional economic and environmental outcomes in Morocco.

Simulating a 1% decline in transport costs, ...

The choice of the Amazon as host carried symbolic weight, but symbolism does not override power, interests, or institutional capacity.The outcome of COP30 confirms a deeper truth: the global climate regime has ent ...
