“There are huge opportunities for Africa to take advantage of business and technology innovation to drive green growth opportunities on the continent, that will give both good climate outcomes and also increase incomes and growth on the continent. This will require public policymakers, private entrepreneurs, investors and the financial sector to work together in a coordinated way to deliver on these opportunities,” said John Roome, the World Bank’s South Asia Regional Director of Sustainable Development.
