The next 20 years could well be dominated by the effects of climate change... which will disproportionately affect poorer nations and those subject to population pressures, and those on the climate front-line... in many cases, those countries in Africa. I think this will act as a further inhibitor on the rise of Africa, particularly as many African nations still have rapidly increasing populations.

There's a fascinating dynamic visualisation here detailing each country's progression across the five stage demographic transition model... it's apparent that many African nations are earlier on in the process.




So far this was drawn by a man it can be proven wrong at any given time if only Africa comes together as one or better still treats it’s people well by providing the basis and making things/life easy for them Africa entirely would be the next UAE or CHINA. This is not magic we are talking reality here, forget this climate and transition model whatever if African leaders changes their perspectives and how they govern their people In less than no time Africa shall rise and be great again.
