AGESI to champion green industrialisation at Africa Climate Summit 2
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.
