Event information

With over US$2.4 trillion in institutional capital, Africa has vast potential for sustainable development. Yet, challenges like extreme poverty, energy deficits, and over US$1 trillion in debt constrain governmentsā€™ capacity to address socio-economic and climate needs.

Innovative financial instruments, including green, social, and sustainability-linked bonds, could mobilize critical climate finance across Africa. Expanding these bonds can bridge funding gaps, enhance investment, and foster sustainable projects to build resilience across the continent.
