flag African leaders demand new wealth metrics to highlight the economic value of their natural resources.

flag African leaders are calling for new ways to measure the continent's wealth, arguing that current GDP calculations understate the value of Africa's natural resources. flag They say including the value of carbon sequestered by African forests alone could add $66.1 billion to the continent's GDP, a 2.2% increase. flag This push comes ahead of the UN Climate Change Conference in Brazil, where African nations will seek reforms to global financial systems to better recognize and reward their environmental contributions.
