ADDIS ABABA, ETHIOPIA — The Africa Green Economy and Sustainability Institute (AGESI), a pioneering “do-tank” launched with its first office in Nigeria, is set to make a significant impact at the Second Africa Climate Summit (ACS2). 

The summit, which takes place in Addis Ababa from September 8-10, 2025, is a critical platform for accelerating climate action and financing Africa’s green development. 

AGESI, known for its focus on translating climate ambition into tangible action, will be a key participant, contributing to the summit’s central theme of accelerating global climate solutions.  

AGESI’s role at the summit
AGESI’s engagement at ACS2 will highlight its strategic initiatives and actionable frameworks, particularly its new Africa Green Opportunity Index (GOI), designed to reframe Africa’s green transition from a narrative of vulnerability to one of economic opportunity. 

This index provides a new lens for investors and policymakers, helping to unlock the continent’s vast renewable energy and critical mineral potential. 

In line with the summit’s objectives, AGESI will also participate in high-level discussions on mobilising climate finance and fostering cross-regional partnerships. 

The institute’s presence underscores its commitment to ensuring that Africa’s voice is unified and impactful in shaping global climate negotiations, particularly in the lead-up to COP30 in Belém, Brazil. 

About the Africa Green Economy and Sustainability Institute (AGESI) The Africa Green Economy and Sustainability Institute (AGESI), also known as the African Sustainability Institute (ASI), is a pan-African action platform dedicated to accelerating the continent’s green economy transition. 

Through visionary leadership, policy reform, and sustainable investment, AGESI empowers leaders and communities to build a resilient and prosperous future. The institute was launched in Nigeria and works across the continent to turn climate commitments into tangible projects and scalable solutions. 

About the Second Africa Climate Summit (ACS2) Convened by the African Union Commission and the Government of Ethiopia, the Second Africa Climate Summit brings together heads of state, development partners, the private sector, and civil society to advance African-led climate solutions. 

The summit’s theme is “Accelerating Global Climate Solutions: Financing Africa’s Resilient and Green Development.”
