Artificial intelligence is rapidly becoming a powerful tool in fighting climate change and biodiversity loss. From forecasting extreme weather to optimising renewable energy systems and monitoring forests, AI technologies are transforming how societies tackle environmental challenges.
Public attitudes toward economic progress are shifting. Across many countries, citizens are increasingly questioning the long-standing model of growth at any cost.
New financial guarantee facilities are gaining traction as a powerful tool to unlock private investment in infrastructure. By reducing risk for investors, these instruments are helping channel capital into projects that would otherwise struggle to attract financing.
Toymaker The LEGO Group has reached a major sustainability milestone, announcing that half of the materials used in its iconic bricks now come from renewable or recycled sources.
Sahara Group has commissioned MT Asharami Ghana, a 40,000-cubic-metre LPG carrier aimed at strengthening Ghana’s energy supply chain. The vessel arrives as West Africa seeks cleaner cooking fuels and more reliable LPG logistics.
Across industries, organisations are cutting costs, restructuring teams, and prioritising younger, cheaper labour. However, in doing so, many are quietly discarding one of their most valuable assets, experience.
Sahara Group has called on young Africans to transform the continent’s energy challenges into entrepreneurial opportunities during a leadership session at the University of Lagos.
Africa’s energy transition debate is shifting from ambition to accountability. At a high-level industry dialogue, leaders argued that governance reform and ESG credibility must anchor sustainable energy expansion.
Battery prices are falling faster than many energy planners anticipated, reshaping the economics of renewable power worldwide.
A new global ranking of industries by “social license to operate” reveals widening trust gaps across sectors. Healthcare and renewables score higher in the ranking of public legitimacy, while extractives and fossil fuels face mounting scepticism.
Nigeria’s recurring national grid collapses are deepening concerns about the resilience of Africa’s largest electricity market.
World Economic Forum's Youth Pulse 2026 surveys 4,574 young people, highlighting priorities: inequality, jobs, climate, AI, and demand for youth inclusion in governance.

Cold chain systems are not simply a technical fix. They are a lifeline for food security, public health, and climate resilience.
ESG is more than compliance. It’s a lens for evaluating progress, risk, opportunity and most critically, legitimacy. We created SSAL with a clear conviction: Africa’s sustainable future must be told by Africans - authentically, accurately, and ambitiously.
Malawi’s reform moment has arrived under pressure, not prosperity. With inflation near 30%, exports shrinking and reserves critically low, the country faces a narrowing window to restore macroeconomic credibility.
Africa’s energy transition has entered a decisive acceleration phase, enabled by innovative climate finance mechanisms that are reshaping capital flows, infrastructure deployment and economic transformation.
Africa stands at a decisive geopolitical and economic turning point. Declining foreign aid, rising global competition, and shifting power dynamics are forcing the continent to redefine its development model, moving from dependency toward self-determined growth.
Africa’s next economic transformation will not be driven entirely by aid or external financing, but by integration, digital innovation and new financing architectures such as tokenisation.
Africa stands at the centre of the global renewable energy transformation; however, it remains far behind in deployment relative to its potential.
The global economy is undergoing a quiet but profound shift. Long-term growth, the engine of jobs, prosperity, and development, is slowing across regions, threatening the ability of emerging economies, especially in Africa, to close income gaps and finance climate and infrastructure transitions.
