We partner for Sustainable Innovation, Biodiversity Restoration &
Climate Resilience across Africa.

Why We Exist

Africa’s climate challenges in numbers & the need for action

Africa’s population projected at 25% of the world’s population by 2050.
86 million Africans will be displaced by 2050 because of climate change (WB).
Despite only contributing to 4% of global emissions, “no continent has been more impacted by climate change-induced natural disasters than Africa”. IFC – Adapting to Natural Disasters in Africa.
AfroClimate exists to elevate climate entrepreneurs to lead bold, localized, scalable solutions for a more climate resilient Africa.

How We Solve It

AfroClimate’s unique approach:
entrepreneurship + community-driven solutions

We are a non-profit organization. Our work and purpose are rooted in our central belief that impact is accelerated (and made more meaningful) when localized solutions are elevated over top-down initiatives.
