The Preludes: From Discussion to Workstreams

Nigeria’s financial system stands at a defining moment. As the nation transitions toward low-carbon, climate-resilient growth, sustainable and climate finance has become both a necessity and an opportunity. Yet across banks, pension funds, insurers, and capital markets, many institutions remain cautious — balancing ambition with uncertainty about how to act.

The Preludes — a series of virtual dialogues leading up to the 2nd Nigeria Sustainable Finance Intensive — bring together regulators, asset owners, investors, and development partners to turn ideas into tangible outcomes.

Each Prelude moves beyond theory to explore real transactions, de-risking structures, and innovative financial instruments shaping climate finance across Africa. Participants gain practical insights, peer connections, and tools to strengthen Nigeria’s sustainable finance ecosystem.
