These currents can be harnessed as clean, marine renewable energy.

Africa has the highest rate of forest loss in the world—what the G20 can do about it
Africa needs its forests for sustainable development, poverty reduction, food security, and to make the continent more resilient to climate change. They take up 23% of the continent. At 674 million hectares in extent, these forests occupy an area the same size as the Amazon rainforest.
