Climate change poses an existential threat to the planet as we know it and its impacts cut across all sectors and facets of humanity.
The Annual Africa ESG, Impact Investing & Sustainable Finance Forums were launched in South Africa several years ago in cognisance of the impacts of climate related risks especially on the African continent -in key sectors like agriculture, energy, food security, water, and biodiversity leading to extreme weather conditions, etc.
The Africa forums have been hosted under different banners in several South African and African cities annually bringing together local, continental and global thought leaders, experts, policy makers, institutional investors, researchers, impact investors, financial institutions, philanthropists, DFI’s, governments and the private sector to address the promotion and incorporation of ESG considerations into investment decisions, mobilise and promote the deployment of capital into Impact Investing in the continent, champion sustainable finance initiatives, and create awareness on impacts of climate change with the objective to lead the way towards promoting climate adaptation and mitigation.
