"A Government that issues its own currency, as Sri Lanka does with the rupee, is never financially constrained in the same way that a household, firm, or local Government is. It can always make payments in its own currency."

Great to see that our Adjunct Professor (and supportive friend) Fadhel Kaboub has been (most deservedly) listed by the New African Magazine as one of the 100 Most Influential Africans in 2025 under the Thinkers & Opinion Shapers category. 100.newafricanmagazine.com

"And yet we’re still denied access to the manufacturing technology to use our own green minerals to manufacture and deploy renewables at scale. That is not by accident." #BAM @350.org

Tunisian-American economist Fadhel Kaboub, however, cautions that a general push to bring “green industrialization” to African countries runs the risk of reinforcing, rather than addressing, the very structural inequalities that have kept so many Africans underpowered.

At COP30, Brazil launched the Belém Action Mechanism to drive a just energy transition, but key details remain unclear. Economist Fadhel Kaboub warns the shift must not deepen inequalities in the Global South — and argues it’s an opportunity to rewrite the “bargain of the century.”

My advice to Botswana and other Global South countries is to pool their resources together in a Global Majority Buyers Club to buy the IMF and to give it a proper structural adjustment from the inside-out. rapaport.com/news/imf-war...

“The ultimate goal of [carbon removal] is that you can say at the end, well, we can actually continue our emissions and just recapture them with this technology,” says Kaboub, the Tunisian economist. “So there's no need to end fossil fuels...” www.technologyreview.com/2025/12/22/1...

وبحسب الدكتور فاضل قابوب "يجب أن يكون هناك إجماع وتصويت للغالبية في أي عملية متعددة الأطراف. وهذا يعني أن الدول التي تتمتع بأكبر وزن اقتصادي وجيوسياسي، مثل الولايات المتحدة والاتحاد الأوروبي، تميل إلى التأثير على هذه العملية، وهي الدول المسؤولة عن دفع التكاليف... tinyurl.com/5xjn4bax

Sri Lanka recently reported a “fish rain,” where fish were found far from water bodies after heavy rains; but rather than falling from the sky, experts say these were amphibious fish that “walked” overland after the rains, making a rare but real phenomenon appear mysterious.

Dr Fadhel Kaboub argues that Africa can no longer afford to trade raw minerals for finished products: “Governments must invest in processing infrastructure. Refining, precursor production, and battery assembly should happen near the mines -not overseas” www.standardmedia.co.ke/business/env...

Fadhel Kaboub, president of the Global Institute for Sustainable Prosperity, argued that "Africa cannot transition by importing clean technology while exporting its minerals in an unprocessed state; that would merely repeat colonial dependency under a green label." nation.africa/kenya/climat...

The economist Fadhel Kaboub, who advises developing nations on climate, argues this is not “because of political will, but because the economics of renewables is winning”. Africa, he says, can generate about 1,000 times the electricity it will need in 2040 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

the insanity that is replicating the mistakes from the past, this is not late capitalism, but brazen capitalism in the face of millions not making enough money for food, yet the market bet on technologies that will mostly permanently damage the social fabric and bring unemployment. SNAFU indeed.
