据油价网12月26日消息称，尽管随着经济和全球冲击对疫情大流行后的复苏造成压力，非洲经济体在2022年面临不确定性，但区域内贸易和气候融资举措正在帮助规划通往更可持续发展的道路。

根据国际货币基金组织对撒哈拉以南非洲的区域经济展望，该地区经济增长预计将从2021年的4.7%放缓至2022年的3.6%，这与全球趋势如出一辙。

粮食安全已成为许多非洲国家关注的核心问题，尤其是在大宗商品价格高企、地缘政治冲突以及气候变化引发的自然灾害威胁粮食供应的情况下。

6月至11月间西非发生的洪灾凸显了该大陆对气候变化影响的脆弱性，导致约140万人流离失所，超过50万公顷农田被毁。

尽管存在这些不利因素，2022年仍将加强区域贸易合作，扩大地缘政治参与，制定经济多样化计划，并努力缩小融资缺口，以支持能源转型和保护非洲大陆的大量自然资源。

Africa’s Green Energy Push Gained Momentum In 2022

Although economies in Africa faced uncertainty in 2022 as economic and global shocks weighed on post-Covid-19 pandemic recovery, intraregional trade and climate finance initiatives are helping to chart a course towards more sustainable development.

Mirroring global trends, growth across the region is expected to slow from 4.7% in 2021 to 3.6% in 2022, according to the IMF’s regional economic outlook for sub-Saharan Africa.

Food security has become a central concern for many African nations, especially as high commodity prices, the war and climate change-induced natural disasters threaten food supply.

Flooding in West Africa between June and November highlighted the continent’s vulnerability to the impact of climate change, displacing some 1.4m people and damaging more than 500,000 ha of farmland.

Despite these headwinds, 2022 saw an increase in regional cooperation on trade and wider geopolitical involvement, as well as economic diversification plans, and efforts to close the financing gap in support of the energy transition and the preservation of the continent’s substantial natural resources.
