Green Bond Landscape Africa

The document examines the role of green bonds in addressing Africa's climate vulnerability and infrastructure gaps, noting that while public finance is currently inadequate, green bonds offer a pathway to mobilize capital for sustainable development and climate mitigation.

• Africa is highly vulnerable to climate change impacts across sectors like agriculture and healthcare, despite contributing only approximately 4% of global CO2 emissions, with vulnerability exacerbated by low investment and adaptation capacity.
• Current levels of available public finance are insufficient to meet the significant financial requirements for climate change adaptation, mitigation, and the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
• Green bonds are identified as a key financial instrument to mobilize capital for climate action and sustainable development, providing an opportunity to integrate sustainability into infrastructure projects to reduce poverty and socio-economic inequality.
