Course Summary

Introduction: A 4-Day Executive Training Program

Africa’s commitment to climate action, as outlined in its Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), represents one of the most significant investment opportunities of our time. An estimated $4 trillion is required by 2030 to finance these ambitious goals. With the private sector expected to provide up to 75% of this capital, the role of Africa’s financial institutions, from central banks to commercial banks and SME lenders, has never been more critical.

However, a significant gap exists. Many financial institutions are not yet equipped to navigate this new landscape. They lack awareness of the risks and opportunities within NDCs, the strategies to assess climate-resilient investments, and the tools to design attractive, bankable green financial products.

This intensive 4-day course is designed to bridge that gap. We will empower financial professionals and other key stakeholders with the capacity to mobilize climate finance, navigate the carbon market, and lead the charge in funding Africa’s low-carbon, climate-resilient future.
