Nigeria stands at a critical crossroads: building economic resilience amid trade volatility while transitioning to a low-carbon future. This shift brings both risks and unprecedented investment opportunities.
For pension funds, insurers, banks, and asset managers, the question is no longer whether to engage in sustainable finance, but how—scaling climate-smart infrastructure, structuring de-risked investments, and forging strategic partnerships to mobilise capital.
The 2nd Nigeria Sustainable Finance Intensive (NgSFI) is your platform to shape Nigeria’s climate finance strategy, positioning sustainable investment as a driver of economic resilience and long-term growth.
