Africa Climate Summit (ACS2)

Africa Climate Summit Reflections Part 2: The Youth Are Getting Restless…

September 17, 2025 Anthony Karefa Rogers-Wright, Black Agenda Report. , , , ,
Last week, my piece on the second Africa Climate Summit (ACS2) focused on the specter of a new phase of African neocolonialism, technocrats and cryptocolonizers who used the summit to promote a series of false climate solutions including, but not limited to, rendering the continent into a sink for carbon markets as a well as artificial intelligence technology. Africa, irrefutably, is the continent in possession of the most valuable natural resources in the world from its minerals, forests and biodiversity, to its people, which is why they all continue to be pillaged to fuel the engine of global racial capitalism. That said, Africa’s most precious and valuable resource is its abundance of young people.

The Second Africa Climate Summit Reveals The New Face Of Colonialism

Addis Ababa, Ethiopia - Ethiopia may be impoverished financially, but is irrefutably one of the wealthiest nations I’ve ever been to as it pertains to culture, heritage, and national pride. Addis Ababa is a proper city that is clearly rising with new construction everywhere from housing, to hotels, and infrastructure that includes the largest hydroelectric dam on the continent, which began operations on September 9, 2025. To this end, the vibrant city with its gregarious and affable residents was more than an appropriate location to host the second bi-annual Africa Climate Summit (ACS2). This is especially true as ACS2 was held at a time when Ethiopia is celebrating its national New Year Holiday and the opening of its new, aforementioned, hydroelectric dam, the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD), which Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed hailed as, “the greatest achievement in the history of the Black race.”
