Thanks for sharing. The biggest investment China has made in the last century is in human capital investment and development. This is a big lesson to African leaders. To emerge as the new frontier as claimed. Africa must start to Invest in its own people and their future. The population of Africa is growing rapidly yet poverty is ravaging the continent. When we can start investing in our people with skilled labor and vocational training. That’s the way out of insecurity and poverty of Africa must be respected in the global economy. The worst-case scenario would be where a poor country with no resources remains idle and fails to undertake any significant economic initiatives. Welcome To The Future Of Democracy In Nigeria.

Good breakdown. Thanks
Thoughtfull post 👍
The greatest global risks stem from how we collectively respond and set priorities: - Protectionism: Governments must communicate the economic impact of protectionist measures. Shifting focus to open, fair trade markets builds resilience. The U.S. may need time to recalibrate, but that burden shouldn't rest on the global community. - Fossil Fuel Dependency: Driven by consumer demand, many resource-rich countries rely on fossil fuels as a lifeline, especially amid desertification. Without alternatives, they turn to drought-resistant crops, which may worsen land degradation. Rethinking market expectations and investing in regenerative economies is urgent. - Resource-Driven Conflict: Many modern conflicts are rooted in competition for land and resources. Global cooperation in resource governance is key to reducing tensions and fostering lasting peace.
Interesting to see how fast risk perceptions can shift—what was 8th last year is now the top concern. A reminder that global risk landscapes are more dynamic than ever. Are institutions and policymakers adapting fast enough to keep pace with these shifts, especially in emerging economies? World Economic Forum
