The Atlantic Council’s Africa Center, in collaboration with the Policy Center of the New South, is organizing a webinar titled “Sustainable Energy and Minerals Development: The Atlantic Case”, scheduled for Thursday, March 27th at 1:30 pm (GMT).

Changes in the global economy are altering the nature of economic activity across maritime environments. As nations seek to protect the world’s oceans, development of port and maritime transportation infrastructure, illegal fishing, maritime cable traffic, oil and gas discoveries, potential offshore wind and other renewable ocean energy and mineral projects are dramatically shaking up maritime economies across Africa. In addition, African countries in the Atlantic basin face a series of security issues such as combating terrorism, organized crime, maritime piracy, and immigration routes. These issues impact all nations bordering the Atlantic basin.
