Africa's Contribution to the Green Economy

Glad to see the Financial Times Special Report on Africa and the Green Economy appear as global leaders meet in Rio. I was very happy to work with Cameroon on telling the story of their oft-overlooked contribution and potential (see pps 1,4&5).

Having been to Rio relatively recently, and liking fish and sculptures, I hope some leaders had time to take in this piece of art, made from discarded plastic bottles........
