GLF Africa 2025: Innovate, Restore, Prosper
How can nature power Africa’s present and future? Africa holds two-thirds of the world’s arable land – yet its landscapes face land degradation, biodiversity loss, and climate threats. But there’s hope. With natural capital, science, traditional knowledge, and innovation, Africa can build a thriving nature economy that works for both people and the planet.
Join our annual hybrid event to explore how. Discover bold ideas, fresh solutions, and inspiring leaders driving Africa’s green future.
About this session
Today’s Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) finance frameworks are still largely focused on screening out risk – and they’re not enough to tackle the climate emergency.
In this session, we call for a radical rethinking of sustainable finance: one that shifts capital flows to the frontlines, where they can support locally-led solutions for climate resilience, ecosystem restoration and improved livelihoods. Meet trailblazers who are turning ESG and impact investing into tools for regeneration, inclusion and sustainability, and learn how finance can help us achieve the SDGs by investing in smallholder farmers, rural communities and landscape restoration.
