According to experts, Africa is the most vulnerable continent to the harmful effects of climate change: galloping desertification, decline in agricultural yields, deforestation, deterioration of the coastline, irreversible losses in terms of biodiversity, climate refugees… The continent’s historical responsibility is altogether limited, Africa representing only 4% of greenhouse gas emissions worldwide. Yet, the continent collects less than 5% of green and sustainable international financial flows.

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