In Africa, as elsewhere in world, the private sector is facing a transformation of huge proportions as it strives for climate neutrality by mid-century. At the same time, the socio-political challenge of ensuring that this transition is socially just must be met.
In line with the just transition approach, we seek to combine climate and environmental protection with the creation of good jobs. To do so, we promote investments by companies that create employment in environmentally relevant areas, such as the renewable energy, e-mobility and recycling sectors. In addition, we support companies from all sectors of the economy in establishing digital, sustainable and resource-efficient business models. We also provide targeted support for the initial and ongoing development of essential skills, such as technical expertise. Together, we can thus create future-proof jobs and company structures in our partner countries.
