Unlocking Africa’s Climate Finance Future with Green Bonds Africa faces one of the world’s largest climate finance gaps, requiring over USD 250 billion annually but receiving less than USD 30 billion.

Drawing lessons from Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa, and AfDB, it highlights policy actions and innovative strategies to position Africa as a leader in sustainable finance and climate resilience.
