DAY 3 | SESSION 4 - The Key to Unlocking Finance for Green Growth and Resilience – with FSD Africa

Africa is the most vulnerable continent to the negative impacts of climate change but receives less than 3% of global climate finance. There is an urgent need for investment in the green projects that will power Africa’s recovery from the economic trauma of Covid-19. However, no amount of one-off green transactions will have the same systemic impact as a forward-looking regulatory framework. So what can regulators do to stimulate investment in the green economy? How can governments signal their ambition for green investment? How can African countries learn from each other’s experiences in green policy and regulation and what does successful collaboration in green finance look like?
