Africa is proving that investing in climate resilience is both essential and profitable. With 17 of the 20 most vulnerable countries to climate change located on the continent, Africa has embraced climate adaptation as a way to protect people, businesses, and infrastructure from extreme weather events. Through initiatives like the Africa Adaptation Acceleration Programme (AAAP), over $15 billion has been invested to strengthen systems, creating jobs and fostering economic growth. Countries like Kenya have turned their climate vulnerabilities into green opportunities, such as solar-powered irrigation and geothermal energy. The market for climate solutions is vast and rapidly expanding. However, funding remains insufficient, leaving untapped business opportunities for companies that can lead in the space.
