Climate change is already inflicting enormous costs across Africa. Discussions at our recent The Africa Roundtable on green finance and the Africa Climate Summit in Addis Ababa highlighted: While innovative green finance solutions already exist, the real challenge lies in scaling them to achieve impact across the continent.
Our speaker James Irungu Mwangi shared his perspective on how to accelerate climate action and investment across Africa. Together, we discussed what it will take to mobilize the green finance needed.
