An average American consumes more resources than the average African, but when measured against the science/economic output they create, the average American is still multiples of times more efficient.

Its also much easier to transition Western societies to renewable energy and EVs, which wipes out a lot of carbon emissions for example.

Additionally, much of Africa (20%) is reliant on food aid from the West, so its not fair to assign all of the resource use to the people who are feeding them.
