The Ultimate Investment Story, Presented by WRI
Hosted by World Resources Institute Africa (WRI-Africa), the Green Belt Movement (GBM), the International Centre for Non-Violent Conflict (ICNC), and Kite Insights.
Following the dynamic “Is Climate Action Job Creation?” debate presented by LinkedIn, we will explore how to forge partnerships for green and inclusive economic growth.
This session will spotlight inspiring investment stories from African entrepreneurs activating value chains, creating quality jobs, and advocating for justice and accountability in climate action.
Together, we will tackle pressing questions about perceived investment risk in Africa, how to unlock finance at scale, decarbonizing manufacturing, and the transformative role of philanthropy. Join us to think bigger and bolder — unlocking capital for a sustainable future and creating green jobs for the world’s youngest workforce.
This session is presented by World Resources Institute Africa (WRI-Africa), the Green Belt Movement (GBM), the International Centre for Non-Violent Conflict (ICNC), and Kite Insights.
