According to experts, Africa is the continent most vulnerable to the damaging effects of climate change: rampant desertification, falling agricultural yields, deforestation, deteriorating coastlines, irreversible losses in biodiversity, climate refugees… The continent’s historical responsibility is, after all, limited, since Africa accounts for only 4% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Yet the continent accounts for less than 5% of international green and sustainable financial flows.

As one of Africa’s leading financial centers, and as part of its development strategy to 2025, Casablanca Finance City aims to support the continent’s transition to a low-carbon, sustainable economy by channelling and consolidating investments in green projects on the continent (renewable energies, sustainable infrastructure, mobility & transport, buildings & urban planning, etc.).
