Details
The Emerging Markets Transition Investment (EMTI) project has been created to identify solutions to mobilise the investment required to achieve the transition to net-zero in EMDEs. The project is supported by the UN-convened Net Zero Asset Owner Alliance, the Centre for Nature and Climate of the World Economic Forum and the EU-ASEAN Business Council. The EMTI project would like to thank Prudential for sponsorship of this webinar.
• Can emerging markets achieve net zero without sacrificing economic progress?
• What do African countries need from the international community to support the transition?
• What barriers exist to financing green projects in Africa and how can they be made more attractive for the investment community?
• What is the role of the private sector, and how are they transforming their business processes and operations to ensure they do not contribute to the worsening climate change?
• How can we incentivise the uptake of renewable energy sources across Africa?
