Making Finance Work for Africa (MFW4A) and Climate Finance and Investment Accelerator Limited (CFIA), in partnership with the African Financial Alliance on Climate Change (AFAC) are organizing a post COP28 Dialogue where high-level panelists will share their insights and views on the discussions held during the COP events (COP26, COP27, and COP28) and on how African financial institutions can build from it to endorse its catalytic role in climate change.
The session was an opportunity to showcase the initiatives carried on by the institutions represented and identify synergies between them. Exploring policy reforms, market initiatives, and the development of eligible climate change related pipelines, including incentives and new access classes, to unlock institutional savings and upscale investments in sustainable infrastructure.
The discourse on climate change and development is now inseparable; the two are no longer mutually exclusive. As African countries revise their nationally determined contributions in 2025, elevating ambition in targets for food and energy becomes imperative, all the while steadfastly maintaining a focus on overall development. The challenge lies in synergizing climate action with developmental goals, recognizing the interconnectedness of these realms. The key lies in crafting ambitious targets that not only address climate concerns but also propel sustainable development, ensuring a harmonious and mutually reinforcing trajectory for the continent.- Opening remarks - Ade AYEYEMI, Supervisory Board Chairman, MFW4A
