Africa’s Green Economy Opportunity
Africa contributes less than 4% of global greenhouse gas emissions, yet remains highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. The transition to a green economy presents significant opportunities to create jobs, strengthen businesses and build resilient and inclusive economies.
Realising this potential requires collaboration across sectors. Businesses, researchers, technical experts, development organisations and entrepreneurs bring valuable knowledge, resources and expertise to support the transition.

Through our network, events and digital platforms, we bring together key stakeholders, share knowledge and mobilise resources to advance programmes that delivers environmental and social impact.
