Exclusive Interview with Iain Banner on ENCA

In this exclusive Channel Africa interview, Iain Banner, Founder and Chairman of GO GREEN AFRICA, unpacks the critical role of the Africa Green Economy Summit (AGES) 2026, taking place from 24–27 February 2026 in Cape Town, under the theme “From Ambition to Action: Scaling Investment in Africa’s Green and Blue Solutions.”

Speaking on Africa In Business, Banner highlights Africa’s climate finance gap and the urgency of moving beyond dialogue to delivery, noting that while Africa contributes minimally to global emissions, it faces a disproportionate funding shortfall. He positions AGES 2026 as a solutions-driven platform focused on bankable, investment-ready projects, innovative finance mechanisms such as blended finance and carbon markets, and practical engagement between investors and African projects.

The interview underscores the summit’s action-oriented format  combining high-level plenaries with pitch stages and reinforces AGES 2026 as a trusted catalyst for mobilising capital, rebuilding confidence in green finance, and accelerating real economic, social, and environmental impact across the continent.
