Investing in Africa’s green economy is not charity - it’s smart economics. Africa is facing severe climate impacts, despite being least responsible for the crisis, underscoring the urgency and opportunity in sustainable finance.

Across Africa, climate change is reshaping the agricultural landscape, leaving smallholder farmers increasingly vulnerable. These farmers often lack the financial resources needed to adapt, and traditional credit systems, designed and enjoyed by those with far better access, routinely fall short.

Across the African continent, smallholder farmers are at the frontline of the climate crisis. Rising temperatures, unpredictable rainfall, prolonged droughts, and extreme weather patterns are not only threatening harvests but undermining food security, livelihoods, and rural economies.

Across Africa, farmers stand on the frontlines of climate change with food security and their livelihoods threatened by unpredictable weather patterns, droughts, and devastating floods. Yet, while the need for climate adaptation grows more urgent, access to financing remains painfully out of reach.

The World Meteorological Organisation has warned that the escalating climate crisis will spare no continent, with Africa facing some of the most severe consequences. Despite contributing just 10% of global greenhouse gas emissions, Africa is disproportionately affected and the least equipped to handle the impact.

The financial exclusion of adults in Africa remains a key barrier to the alleviation of poverty and promotion of sustainable development.
