Overview
As Africa accelerates its transition toward clean and sustainable energy, financing remains one of the most critical challenges. China, now the world’s largest investor in renewable energy, has become a strategic partner in supporting Africa’s green transition through technology transfer, policy cooperation, and financial mechanisms.
This webinar brings together leading thinkers, policymakers, and development practitioners to explore China’s evolving role in financing Africa’s energy transition—from renewable infrastructure investments and green finance instruments to south–south cooperation frameworks. With expert insights from Ivan Cardillo, this session will offer a balanced reflection on the policy, legal, and financial dimensions shaping Africa’s green future in partnership with China.
