Green Leap | Africa is climate change ground zero
The Green Leap series is the aggregation of Oxford Economics Africa’s research into the areas most affected by climate change, including energy, green finance, agriculture, and climate policy.
Highlights
The global transition towards carbon neutrality in the context of a rapidly changing climate will have a direct bearing on Africa’s development prospects. The Green Leap research into these areas takes the form of country-specific reports that unpack how African nations can traverse these challenges and capitalise on the changing landscape. We also produce thematic research that covers Green Leap topics pertinent to stakeholders in Africa’s socioeconomic development.
COP29 to reframe funding support
Our first of two Research Briefings on COP29 sketches the funding backdrop from an African perspective. The investment requirements are astounding and the lines between adaptation/mitigation and traditional development have been blurred. Advanced economies remain hesitant to foot the bill, and we explore ways in which the funding landscape will change.
