Episode 3 | 🎙️ #AFRODEBTPodcast Main question: Who Should Pay for Africa’s Climate Losses? In this powerful conversation, @wa_nciko , Climate Justice Adviser for East and Southern Africa at @amnesty and Lead Adviser on Human Rights in Madagascar, joins Dr.@pa_toussaint of African Futures Lab and @RiskaKoopman, formerly of AFRODAD, to unpack: 🔹 How industrialised countries overshot their fair share of the atmospheric commons, and why that accumulated carbon continues to shape our climate today. 🔹 The experience of the Antandroy people of southern Madagascar, where French colonial authorities destroyed drought-resilient vegetation across 40,000 hectares, contributing to ecological vulnerability that climate change has intensified. 🔹 How the concept of “ecological debt” evolved into the language of “loss and damage”, and what was lost when accountability was removed from the conversation. 🔹 What the @_AfricanUnion's Year of Reparations means for climate justice, and why turning recognition into meaningful accountability and enforcement remains the harder task. Africa contributed the least to global emissions, yet African countries are bearing some of the heaviest consequences, while confronting a deepening public debt crisis and shrinking fiscal space for development. So, who should pay for Africa’s climate losses? This is the conversation behind that question. 🎧 Listen to the full episode: https://t.co/aGlbjcJxrY

Episode 2 | 🎙️ #AFRODEBTPodcast The “Debt Cancellation Is Not Enough” episode discusses why cancelling debt alone cannot deliver economic justice in Africa. It explores how colonial power relations, unequal decision-making, and extractive economic systems continue to shape the global financial architecture. The conversation also explores what reparative justice could look like, from restructuring global finance and redistributing financial power to reclaiming policy autonomy. Joining the conversation is Prof. @gchelwa , Associate Professor of Political Economy and Chair of Social Sciences at The Africa Institute. Drawing on themes from his book, How the IMF Strangles Africa, we discuss the role of the IMF and World Bank in perpetuating debt and economic dependency. 🎧 Listen now: https://t.co/0h4xIAJK07 #AfricaEconomicJustice

🎙️#AFRODEBTPodcast Decolonising Africa’s Climate Debt: From Voluntary Aid to Enforceable Reparations. Across Africa, the sovereign debt crisis and the climate emergency operate as reinforcing burdens. As African countries spend millions rebuilding after climate disasters and often take on expensive external loans to do so, the fundamental question remains: Who is legally and historically accountable? In Episode 3 of our joint podcast series with African Futures Lab, Riska Koopman (former International Public & Private Finance- IPPF - AFRODAD) joins @pa_toussaint- Research Advisor (African Futures Lab) and Nciko wa Nciko - Climate Justice Advisor in East and Southern Africa and its lead advisor on human rights in Madagascar (@amnesty ) to dissect the mechanics of ecological debt and reparative justice. Key insights from the episode: 🔹Atmospheric Overshoot: How centuries of colonial fossil fuel extraction placed the Global North in atmospheric debt to the Global South. 🔹 Moving Beyond Loss & Damage: Why voluntary climate funds fail to enforce legal liability, and why true climate justice demands systemic debt cancellation. African governments cannot address a climate crisis they did not cause while burdened by debts they cannot sustain. #AfricaEconomicJustice 🎧 Listen to the full episode: Link: https://t.co/aGlbjcJxrY

🎙️#AFRODEBTPodcast As Thomas Sankara warned in 1987‼️, repaying illegitimate debt forces African countries to finance the architects of their original conquest all over again. 🚫To break this cycle, the De-Colonial Political Economy Framework addresses 4 core pillars: (i) Confronting Racial Capitalism, (ii) applying Third World Approaches to International Law (TWAIL), (iii) reforming unequal voting power in the IMF, and (iv) asserting Epistemic Justice over how financial narratives are controlled. 🎧 Stream Episode 1 now to learn why ending the debt cycle requires structural global reform rather than temporary austerity band-aids.
