Africa’s abundant and diverse natural resources make it uniquely positioned to be a global leader in green business and finance.
But how can nations across the continent unlock this potential?
BwB is delighted to announce the launch of the Africa Green Business and Finance Initiative’s (AGBFI) Flagship Report.
Developed by the UNDP's Africa Sustainable Finance Hub (ASFH) in collaboration with BwB, the report aims to stimulate on-the-ground actions in hashtag#GreenBusiness and hashtag#GreenFinance that will have a meaningful positive impact on economic and social well-being across the continent. The publication is part of AGBFI and the ASFH’s wider work to engage with governments, companies, and civil society across hashtag#Africa to catalyse green growth.
Highlights of the report include:
Sector-specific analysis of the state of key green growth sectors, including renewable energy, water, agriculture, and technology.
Discussion of innovation themes and the identification of major growth opportunities in green business sectors.
Actionable recommendations, developed in collaboration with governments and the private sector, for accelerating private sector activity in green business sectors.
BwB Managing Director, Heather Matson, commented: “This report is not only a roadmap, it is a call to action – one that encourages individuals, institutions, and governments to seize the opportunities provided by Africa’s rich and diverse natural resources to become world leaders in sustainable business and finance.”
