Africa’s journey toward a just energy transition is a story of both challenge and incredible potential. In this episode of RMB Africa Focus, journalist Crystal Orderson unpacks the real cost of climate change for African nations – and the innovative financing models needed to support a cleaner, fairer future.
From the staggering rise in climate-related displacements to the growing strain on national budgets, we examine how extreme weather is reshaping development priorities across the continent. Crystal speaks to RMB’s Sustainable Finance Adviser, Beth Rivett-Carnac, about the opportunities and limitations of sustainable finance, including green shares, gender bonds, and frameworks that enable capital to flow from the global North to the global South.
We also explore how climate finance can – and must – be made more inclusive, accessible, and transparent to empower Africa’s transition to a low-carbon economy without deepening the debt burden.
