A new study forecasts Africa’s green job growth to reach 1.5 to 3.3 million new direct jobs by 2030, focusing on 12 high-potential value chains in sectors like energy, agriculture, and construction. Solar power alone could drive up to 1.7 million jobs, while climate-smart agriculture and aquaculture offer significant opportunities. South Africa, Kenya, and Nigeria lead in job creation potential among five focus countries. The research highlights the urgent need for workforce development, targeted investments, and policy support to build a skilled talent pipeline. Collaborative action across public, private, and social sectors is key to scaling Africa’s green economy.
Africa's Green Economy Summit connects industry professionals and organisations to information and each other in a carefully curated live environment. Its purpose is to support in mobilising investments for green projects to scale up and industrialisation, which will have a significant impact on environmental sustainability and economic growth.
