Financing Sustainable Energy

Africa needs stable, low-cost, sustainable power supplies to attract the businesses and investment needed for the economic and social development of its people and countries. This will require massive investment in sustainable energy projects. Leaders in finance and energy identify what is needed to attract the necessary scale of investment, while activists and regulators also set out their needs.

Areas for discussion include:

• What does the financial sector require to increase capital flow into sustainable energy projects in Africa?   
• What can financial institutions do to develop robust ESG strategies?
• The role of financial institutions transitioning big clients and emitters on to sustainable energy?
• Innovative Sustainability Financing driving the integration of renewables
