12h00 to 13h30 GMT | 25 January 2022

Panel discussion: AfricaHardball: Political and other risks in a year of re-emergence and high tension

Chair: Jon Marks, Chairman, CbI and Founder, African Energy

An online meeting focused on political, financial and other risks affecting the continent in 2022 and beyond.

  • Key flashpoints around the continent – Sahel, the Horn, North Africa (Western Sahara and Libya) and other problem areas;
  • Upcoming electoral and other politics – including Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria and South Africa;
  • Climate change impacts and opportunities – will the money flow in 2022? Will degraded environments drive more conflict?
  • Economies’ emergence from Covid and other crises – a positive year ahead for who?
  • Risk mitigation – is the financial architecture fit for purpose?
