Resilience Amid Uncertainty

Private capital investments that consider systems-level factors can ensure resilient value creation and generate long-term risk-adjusted returns. Although asset owners, fund managers and portfolio companies recognise the potential for generating value through sustainability, however gaps in knowledge and implementation still exist. This is particularly challenging in Africa, where reliance on high-yield assets hinders growth. Africa Value Creation Intensive brings together private capital professionals to examine creating value through sustainability in the current market context.

Options for your team or whole company to access.

Despite trillions of dollars being committed to achieving net zero by 2050, sustainable finance is encountering significant obstacles. The market has been disrupted due to geopolitical tensions, uncertain economic outlooks, and higher financing costs. In Africa, sustainable finance is currently experiencing scalability challenges. And although the continent has seen swift growth in green, social, sustainability, and sustainability-linked bonds issuance, sustainable finance in Africa is met with multiple obstacles that hinder its further development. What pathways can Africa’s sustainable finance market take to address the roadblocks to raising sustainable finance at scale? How can the industry mitigate risk and bolster skills shortages that dampen growth?
