The Solution: The Climate Action Platform for Africa (CAP-A) is dedicated to transforming Africa into a leading force in climate action by leveraging the continent’s unique advantages, including its renewable energy potential, youthful workforce, and rich natural resources. CAP-A seeks to drive economic growth through climate-smart strategies, aiming for not just a net-zero carbon footprint but a net-negative one, capitalizing on Africa’s low current carbon emissions and substantial natural assets. Their approach involves building a strong, Africa-focused knowledge base to guide decision-making, promoting a narrative that emphasizes the opportunities climate action presents for Africa, and implementing pilot projects to demonstrate these opportunities’ viability.
