Africa at COP30
Unlocking Climate Finance: Partnerships and Investments for Africa’s Green Future
- NOVEMBER 6 – 14 2025 | BRAZIL
As the world converges in Belém, Brazil, for COP30, Africa arrives at a pivotal moment in shaping global climate action. Despite being the least emitter, Africa remains the most vulnerable to climate change impacts while holding some of the world’s greatest opportunities for climate solutions, green growth, and investment.
Against this backdrop, Carbonivity in partnership with Africonomie is co-hosting Africa at COP—a high-level platform designed to amplify Africa’s voice, facilitate climate finance access, and position African public and private organizations as key actors in the global green economy.
