Entrepreneurs in developing economies are vital to addressing climate change and promoting sustainable and resilient development. Developing countries will experience some of the worst climate impacts, and they also hold enormous potential for encouraging mitigation and adaptation on local and regional levels. Yet, entrepreneurs in developing economies face distinct challenges and barriers when it comes to addressing climate change.
The ANDE West Africa Collaboration Café on Climate & Environmental Action is funded by the Aspire Coronation Trust (ACT) Foundation as part of the West Africa Capacity Development Series and led by regional experts in Climate and Environmental Action. The session will focus on how Entrepreneurial support organizations can work together to create a more robust ecosystem to address climate change priorities in the region. Please see details below:
