Описание: Hosted by Asha Strategies LLC & African Public Affairs Committee (AfriPAC)

Welcome to the Breaking Boundaries U.S.-Africa Policy Series! In this critical minerals panel discussion, industry experts and policymakers dive deep into Africa's pivotal role in the global clean energy transition. With increasing demand for critical energy transition minerals like cobalt, lithium, and nickel, Africa’s vast mineral reserves are essential to the production of electric vehicles, wind turbines, and renewable batteries.

In this insightful discussion, we explore how U.S.-Africa partnerships can create a sustainable, transparent, and equitable mining sector. Led by moderator Dr. Anne-Marea Griffin, Senior Fellow for Africa at the Center for American Progress, the panel addresses key issues such as human rights, environmental concerns, and economic opportunities.

Panelists:

🔹 Maria Lya Ramos – Associate Director, Oxfam’s Natural Resource Justice

🔹 Wilfredo "Wil" Reyes – Principal, ARM Global Strategies Advisory

🔹 Thomas Sheehy – Distinguished Fellow, USIP’s Africa Center

Watch this panel to understand how U.S.-Africa collaborations can shape a future of responsible mining, strengthen supply chains, and ensure a just transition to green energy.
