Climate change is an increasingly serious threat in Africa which is among the most vulnerable continents, despite being responsible for just 4% of global emissions. Putting climate action at the centre of economic development will ensure Africa can deliver a just and equitable transition that tackles climate change and creates prosperity for people across the continent. To attract the level of investment needed to drive implementation will require the right regulatory and business environment.

Our Accelerate to Net Zero: Africa virtual event will provide insights and discussion on the challenges and opportunities ahead as governments and businesses accelerate efforts to reach Net Zero with insights on how African countries can achieve their decarbonisation strategies from a range of experts across industry and government.

Attendees will learn about South Africa’s experience as it sets a framework for a just transition to address the current energy crisis through policies and actions that seek to decarbonise the energy sector while ensuring that social, economic, and environmental implications are considered. You will also hear from business leaders who will share their insights on the opportunities and practical steps that can be taken to set a Net Zero strategy.
