Climate, Energy and Environment
Powering Africa's transition to a climate-resilient, low-carbon future through scalable, high-impact solutions.
Overview
How we work in this space
Africa sits at the centre of the global climate and development agenda. We work with governments, organisations, donors, investors, and the private sector to design and implement programmes that strengthen community resilience, accelerate the transition to clean energy, and promote inclusive, sustainable growth.
