Despite contributing just 3% of global emissions, Africa must mobilize $190 billion annually by 2030 to fund its climate transition—yet received only $52.1 billion in 2022. A new Africa Insights report, presented by Casablanca Finance City and Oxford Economics Africa, outlines this stark disparity and calls for urgent action from governments, donors, and private investors.
The report highlights five strategic sectors: renewable energy, blue economy, smart agriculture, resilient infrastructure, and critical minerals. It urges the scaling of blended finance, green bonds, and voluntary carbon markets, noting Africa could capture 25% of the global carbon credit trade by 2030.
Casablanca Finance City is spotlighted as a key player, having launched a regional carbon market aligned with Morocco’s low-carbon strategy. Morocco is also cited as a model, with projects like the Noor solar complex and its early environmental commitments.
With COP30 approaching, the report sets out 10 recommendations to unlock financing and transform climate challenges into growth opportunities.
