Bill Clinton on Africa and the Future

Friday, August 8, 2008 around 9 am mountain time

Bill Clinton speaking to NatGeo in Rwanda:

I am trying to convince Africa that the energy crisis and climate change and Africa’s capacity to develop its economy through agriculture and to improve the health of their people through nutrition should be pursued in tandem.

Africans should realize that they might actually be able to skip a stage of development. They don’t have to go through the carbon-intensive phase. They can’t afford it, unless they have their own oil resources.

Have your say
