Powering visionaries
to innovate for climate Justice
in Africa

We are AfroClimate.

We partner for Sustainable Innovation & Climate Resilience across Africa.

Why We Exist

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

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

We are Community-First. Growing community-based innovations rooted in local contexts, cultures and aspirations.
