Of all regions on the planet, Africa faces some of the most pressing natural capital risks and some of the most clear and compelling opportunities for green, sustainable growth. The African Forum on Green Economy aims to build connections between people and concepts for greener economic decision-making and a resilient Africa.
The Forum will take place from 1 April to 3 July 2020. Targeting businesses, investors, policy makers, and civil society, the Forum is made up of a series of themed discussions on investing in natural capital for a resilient Africa. Each theme will last for ten days and culminate in a webinar where participants can hear directly from a global network of experts, share experiences, and meet other practitioners online.
