African and global institutional investors hold significant pools of capital, which are critical to tap into, if we are to close the African $3trn climate finance gap. Achieving this will require more capital to be deployed annually to 2030, than has been delivered over the last decade. This kind of unprecedented acceleration in both the pace and scale of financing, demands changes to the status quo, reflective of our current global climate emergency.
In forging closer institutional investor-public partnerships (IIPP’s), and greater risk sharing between public and private finance, we stand to unlock and scale an unprecedented pipeline of investable climate projects across the continent.
