AGP Executive Report
Last update: 11 hours agoClimate Risk: A new study using UNSEEN climate-model methods finds extreme-rainfall risk has already risen since 1981 across Southern Africa and parts of Southeast Asia, with some months showing risk doubling for major cities—an early warning for planners in places like Johannesburg, Lilongwe and Lusaka. Biodiversity & Data: Madagascar’s conservation push gets a boost from LIFEPLAN-style monitoring, with new work using standardized field methods to map where endemism is strongest—helping target protection beyond today’s limited species focus. Critical Minerals: Tanzania’s Chinese-backed rare-earth exploration in Njombe highlights how the region is racing for supply chains for EVs and wind—while Madagascar’s graphite position is still being shaped by Mozambique’s Balama output swings. Energy Access: Husk’s $400m push for solar mini-grids keeps the focus on faster, decentralised electrification—an approach that matters for Madagascar’s off-grid communities. Local Watch: Madagascar’s school-feeding and nutrition efforts continue via regional study tours, aiming to strengthen home-grown supply and learning outcomes.
