African Green Industrial Cites: An Emerging Investment Property The Nairobi Declaration—Africa’s Green Investment Deal—heralds a transformative moment for domestic and international investors focused on climate resilience, sustainable energy, and economic growth.
Embraced by African leaders and the African Union, this strategic signal mirrors the intent of the EU Green Deal or the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act, positioning Africa as both a central player in global decarbonisation and a strategic hub for green manufacturing.
The COP29 Presidency’s Green Energy Declaration Pledge on Green Energy Zones and Corridors advocates for sustainable, place-based investment platforms that attract private capital through targeted incentives and policies. Green industrial cites present a transformative pathway to drive large-scale investment, combat climate change, accelerate green industrial growth, enhance energy security, and make the just transition both impactful and financially viable.
