Sharing a great report on the #climatefinance gap in Africa. Especially for those in the #developmentfinance and #privateequity spaces this is actually an interesting investment thesis - a gap can often be an opportunity.

The impact of #ClimateChange resonates deeply across the African continent. From changing weather patterns to environmental shifts, the challenges are evident as portrayed in the image 👇🏿. It's imperative that we invest in financing solutions that bolster resilience and adaptation to secure a sustainable future. #African nations have demonstrated unwavering commitment to #ClimateAction. However, the scale of adaptation efforts demands substantial financial support. Global efforts to address the climate crisis should acknowledge the need for adaptation financing that aligns with our aspirations. Amidst these pressing concerns, we must ask ourselves: #WhatHasChanged? How are we driving meaningful change in our strategies, policies, and partnerships? This moment is the best time we have to advocate for a transformative shift in adaptation finance to safeguard our communities, ecosystems, and economies. #YAF_Africa #YAF_Nigeria

The nature of the fight against climate change is not straightforward and can come at a cost.   The Climate Financing in Africa: Strategies for the Future report by AVCA - The African Private Capital Association and Tony Blair Institute for Global Change, tasks us to imagine creative climate-friendly ways through which African economies can continue to blossom. According to the report, one non-negotiable element towards the realisation of this goal will have to be financing that is much more substantial and sustainable than it is today. At the ongoing Africa Climate Summit, some key findings from the report reveal why and how the policy and business spheres must work together to tackle climate change.

RECOMMENDED WATCH: Funding #Africa's #climateaction plans The cost of inaction in relation to #climatechange is far greater than the cost of action.

Although sub-Saharan Africa is the world’s least contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions, it is the most vulnerable to climate-related shocks 🤯📝.  Addressing climate change will be costly, and few African countries 🌍 have the resources or fiscal space to tackle this challenge without assistance from the international community. This note by the International Monetary Fund explores some available options, highlighting the untapped resources currently available from multilateral climate funds and noting, in particular, the demand for new ways of connecting public, private, and concessional finance to lift investment and close the gap between resources and needs: #climateresilience #goodreads Maelis Carraro, Maxime Bayen, Karen Serem Waithaka Akansha Kasera, Keeya-Lee Ayre, Malika Anand, Rasima Swarup, Peter Ndichu, Jayson Rai, Wairimu Gitahi, Javier Linares Ngetha Mwangi Gabriel Abagalana, Seth Charles Mkisi, Franc Kamugyisha Ashley Immanuel
