ABSTRACT
Chapter 25 critically analyses the Africa Mining Vision (AMV). The authors situate the AMV in the current energy revolution and the need for key minerals. The chapter concentrates on the advancements of the AMV since 2009 and provides an evaluation of accomplishments and gaps/challenges. With Africa's own demands for the green economy and the quantity of metals that are essential to the energy shift, it presents the strategic point for AMV in the carbon transition. It also seeks to consider the value of collaboration across Southern economies during the energy transition, paying particular attention to the part that Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) investing plays in the continent's evolving investment trends. The chapter attempts to tie in current policy gaps with the need to advance a regional natural resource governance agenda through the AMV in order to adapt to the emerging global paradigm and its shifting power dynamics.
