Greenwashing the Exploitation Of Africa | The Climate Report #364 | 2-13-23

GREENWASHING THE EXPLOITATION OF AFRICA
On December 13, 2022, US corporate leaders and representatives of the State Department met for three days with African leaders at the “US Africa Leaders Summit.”

All of the rhetoric about clean energy, inclusion, equality, economic growth and meeting the challenges of the 21st century conceals a disturbing underlying reality … that the people of Africa will not benefit ecologically or economically from this massive exercise in “green” exploitation.

On this episode, I draw from sources such as the New York Times, the Department of Defense, the Department of State, investigative reporters at The Grayzone and the website of a Bill Gates founded company that seeks to dig up $12 trillion in minerals, for the good of the planet and the climate, they say.
