UN agency has launched a report on green business and financing in Africa

Africa has major opportunities for green economic development and could become a world-leader in it, UN Development Programme (UNDP) Regional Service Centre for Africa director Dr Matthias Naab highlighted at the Enlit Africa 2024 conference, in Cape Town, on Wednesday. He was launching the UNDP’s 'Africa Green Business and Financing' report, at the International Convention Centre. Africa contained 30 of the world’s 40 most climate-vulnerable countries, he pointed out. And global climate programmes were falling short of their targets.
