About the Event

Africa’s ecosystems are among the richest and most diverse in the world, yet they face growing threats from climate change, habitat loss, and unsustainable use. Mobilising private capital is critical to safeguarding biodiversity while advancing sustainable development. This exclusive roundtable will bring together leaders from finance, government, civil society, and international organisations to discuss practical strategies to unlock investment in Africa’s natural capital.

Discussion Highlights
  • Financing trends for nature finance, informed by the World Economic Forum’s Financial Instruments paper.
  • Nature-based investment opportunities across Africa.
  • How to mobilise more capital – including the role of guarantees and commercial banks in accelerating nature-based transactions.
