Africa is home to some of the world's fastest-growing economies and possesses around 60% of the world's best solar resources, yet the continent attracts less than 3% of global energy investment and accounts for only a fraction of global clean energy financing. At the same time, climate change is placing increasing pressure on infrastructure, food systems and economic resilience, underscoring the urgent need for sustainable, long-term investment. 

Financing Africa's green transition is therefore both a developmental imperative and a significant commercial opportunity. From renewable energy and sustainable infrastructure to green industrialisation, critical minerals and climate-smart agriculture, the transition to a low-carbon economy has the potential to unlock new industries, create jobs and drive inclusive growth across the continent. 

Hosted in partnership with Addleshaw Goddard, this discussion will bring together investors, financiers, policymakers and business leaders to examine the financing solutions, partnerships and regulatory frameworks needed to accelerate Africa's green transition. The conversation will explore how innovative capital structures, blended finance mechanisms and public-private collaboration can mobilise investment at scale, de-risk projects and ensure that the green transition becomes a catalyst for sustainable economic transformation across Africa.
