Does Africa Need to Industrialise Before It Decarbonises? | Soha Benchekroun
Episode 199
Monday, 29 June, 2026
What if Africa's biggest climate problem is the climate agenda itself? Soha Benchekroun argues that for Africa, sustainability and industrialisation are the same project, and that thirty years of climate negotiations have delivered almost nothing for the continent. A climate and development policy researcher, she builds the case from inside the rooms she critiques. We get into why adaptation keeps losing to mitigation, why Africa should industrialise with every resource it has, the real cost of exporting raw materials and importing finished goods, and what real economic sovereignty would take. A sharp, contrarian conversation on industrial development, climate finance, and self-reliance.
