An expert panel examined Africa's political, economic, climatic, and cultural outlook in the year ahead.
1. A global year of elections: Impact of elections on the continent
2. Debt and the return of IMF austerity: Impact of continued high inflation, food insecurity, and high fuel prices across the continent.
3. Resilience: are global processes like COP28 able to reach people and businesses on the continent to strengthen their capacity not only to withstand climate and economic shocks but also to grow? How are young populations in African countries leading change?
4. Justice: How does community-level activism feed into and influence concepts of justice in energy transition? Can grassroots engagement and a greater understanding of these complex issues really power political change in 2024 - the global year of elections?
5. Creative narratives: Africa’s creative industries have fabulous filmmakers, musicians, artists, writers, and fashion designers. How will their artistry influence 2024?
