Africa's mineral wealth can help save the world from climate change – but who will save Africans from the riches under their homes, their farms, and their feet? As the world focuses on the Climate crisis at COP29 in Baku, Africa's place as a global leader in the fight against our warming planet is once again in the spotlight. Leaders from right across Africa are in Azerbaijan for the UN's annual climate conference. Up for discussion is the continent's role in helping the world move away from polluting fossil fuels like coal and gas to more sustainable energy sources. But its a transition that also throws up many challenges for African nations – with the rush for resources needed for green technologies open to corruption and the exploitation of communities.
