🌍How does economic development impact the relationship between climate and conflict in Africa—a region that's seen significant armed conflict in recent decades? By creating a detailed dataset combining climate shocks and conflict events with economic measures, Marshall Burke, Joel Ferguson, Solomon Hsiang, and Edward Miguel discover that higher national GDP per capita reduces the conflict risk linked to rising temperatures.

A full-length review of my book, Climate Imperialism in Africa Critical Commentary on the Political Economy of Global Climate Change Regime, has been published by the journal, Review of African Political Economy (ROAPE). Excerpt: "In just over 150 pages, with 58 figures and tables, the author details the global inaction and hypocrisy of capitalist politicians and big business in addressing the mounting climate crisis and persistent underdevelopment of Africa, closing with identification and proclamation of the required popular forces needed to politically organise a campaign guided by a 10-point plan that includes climate reparations, technology transfers and debt cancellation, among other terms required for climate justice. In conclusion, Ibrahim argues that a successful climate justice movement must not be limited to organising and fighting for action in Africa, but must also link with a global socialist alternative to transform resource ownership and inequitable class relationships. The author has provided an important contribution – illuminating, yet accessible – on the political economy of climate imperialism in Africa that should be considered by scholars and activists alike. The intersection of the global agenda, underdevelopment and conflict is virtually omitted; however, the brief warning of Western NGO influence in climate activism and the presentation of China’s extractive and imperial ambitions in Africa are laudable and should inspire further academic and activist consideration." https://lnkd.in/dp4fFnCR

Such valuable insights for executives! I've seen that fortifying organizational resilience begins with a shift in leadership mindset and a strategic agenda. Assessing against a resilience framework, or using a modernized employee engagement and wellbeing survey, and integrating resilience into decision-making methodologies elevates organizational culture, engages employees, and enhances overall wellbeing. A recipe for leadership excellence! #ResilientLeadership #LeadershipInsights #StrategicResilience #EmployeeWellbeing
