More investment needed to protect Africa’s marine economy Some 80% of global trade is maritime, yet the blue economy receives less attention, focus and investment than many other sectors. If well managed, resources found in the world’s seas have the potential of reducing carbon emissions and protecting coastal communities from the adverse effects of #climatechange. African Development Bank climate expert Dr Balgis-Osman Elasha stressed an awareness of the impact of pollution and strengthened policies were needed to ensure a successful outcome of SDG 14, which focuses on the conservation and sustainability of oceans, seas, and marine resources. She explained that an intentional focus on the blue economy could contribute to Africa’s economic development and to sustainability for all who benefit from the oceans and seas.

China calls for Africa's Inclusion in global green transition The Chinese government emphasizes the importance of including Africa in the global green transition to effectively tackle environmental and climate challenges. Mr. Xu Jianping, Director General of the National Development and Reform Commission, made this statement at the 2024 Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) press center in Beijing on Monday. Mr. Xu invited more partners to collaborate with the China-Africa Centre and the Green Alliance, highlighting the need for extensive consultation and shared benefits. He stressed that these partnerships will enhance China-Africa environmental cooperation and support high-quality development under the Belt and Road Initiative, contributing to the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. He noted that climate change is a challenge that affects everyone and requires the collective efforts of all countries. Mr. Xu also mentioned the Declaration on China-Africa Cooperation on Climate Change, which aims to establish strategic collaborations between China and Africa on climate issues and introduces a special action plan to address these challenges. The National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) is a powerful government agency in China that oversees the country's economic development. It creates long-term plans for the economy, guides the growth of different industries, and regulates large investments. The NDRC also controls prices, manages resources like energy and water, and makes sure the economy grows in a sustainable way. China has signed 19 memoranda of understanding on South-South Cooperation on Climate Change with 17 African nations.

CEO @ Green Rising | AI fellow @ LSE | Posting on Africa's green economy and building digital businesses
I've been thinking back to a year ago when Africa proposed a green new deal to rich countries. Here is what happened next... The continent’s big climate gamble worked -- I think -- but not the way intended. At the UN general assembly in New York last September Africa’s green economy was positioned as a global climate saviour. Political and business leaders from the continent tried to sell the global north on a climate pact. Since then, Africa has given itself a successful kick in the right direction. The rest of the world? Not so much. The $3 trillion needed for climate action in Africa by 2030 have yet to be loaded onto the relevant card (see image). Global leaders are now once again assembling in New York for the UN general assembly and guess what's on the agenda?

In 2023, working with British International Investment we had the pleasure to contribute to developing a blue print of mobilising investments to maximise water sector sustainability while simultaneous meeting climate change mitigation and adaptation target. The report provides insights to investors, entrepreneurs, developers, IFIs, and governments on how to mobilise investments towards sustainable water systems. The report indicates that countries particularly in Africa needs to consider diverse types of technologies and investment modalities to maximise financial returns and meet climate targets at the same time. https://lnkd.in/gabJaDqw

South Africa's #ClimateChange Act establishes a national strategy for achieving a #lowcarbon and climate-resilient future, aligning with the Sustainable Development Goals. South Africa's Climate Change Act is the country's first comprehensive legislation aimed at fostering an effective climate change response. Its purpose is to facilitate a just transition to a low-carbon, climate-resilient economy while supporting sustainable development. This landmark legislation underscores South Africa’s commitment to addressing climate change and positions it as a leader in this crucial global issue. It sets ambitious targets for both mitigation and adaptation, requires businesses to provide essential data for #climateplanning and formalises the Presidential Climate Commission to oversee and guide #climateaction. This milestone is significant as #SouthAfrica prepares to attend the G20 summit as the only African representative, positioning itself as a leader in climate action and a key player in emerging markets.
