Southern Africa is on the frontline of the climate crisis, facing rising temperatures, devastating droughts, and destructive floods that threaten lives, livelihoods, and economies. Yet, the flow of capital into climate-resilient agriculture, renewable energy, and green infrastructure remains far below what is needed.
