Webinar audio replay: Green Transition in Africa - Financing the Future

How can climate finance accelerate Africa’s green transition—ensuring inclusion, innovation, and justice?

This is a recorded file from the webinar "Green Transition in Africa: Financing the Future". The webinar explored the financing landscape shaping Africa’s energy transition by examining how things currently work, where they fall short, the actors involved, the structural barriers that persist, and the systemic changes needed to unlock a just and development-focused energy future.

Understanding these interwoven dimensions can help in imagining a financing framework that attracts more and better flows to the continent, without sacrificing its development ambitions.
