Parallel Forum 2: Opportunities for African Infrastructure Investment amid Global Green Transition —2025 Annual Meeting of the Mechanism for International Sustainable Infrastructure Promotion (MISIP)

Place: Ballroom G  Level 3

Amidst a surging global wave of sustainable development, green transition has emerged as a new trend in and a requirement for the international infrastructure sector. African countries, amid their urbanization and industrialization processes, harbor significant infrastructure development needs. How to facilitate infrastructure advancement while duely conserve the environment; how to address infrastructure funding gaps while minimizing carbon emissions, have become crucial issues for this vast continent. On one hand, Africa can untilize green financing tools and low-carbon technologies to advance its infrastructure development in renewable energy, smart transportation and green ports, thereby addressing the "carbon lock-in" dilemma. On the other hand, through deepened China-Africa cooperation and by embracing the TNFD framework and utilizing biodiversity impact assessment tools, infrastructure projects can synergistically coexist with ecological corridors.To implement the commitments made by the 2024 Forum on China-Africa Cooperation, this forum, under the MISIP framework, will convene representatives from governments, financial institutions, enterprises, NGOs, professional institutions and academics to exchange insights on green financing, low-carbon technologies, and TNFD. By sharing expertise and best practices, the session aims to explore pathways for a collaborative green transition for African infrastructure.
