Abstract: The Report of the Independent High-Level Expert Group on Climate Finance of 2022 chaired by Vera Songwe and Nicholas Stern noted that acting on climate should not be perceived as a cost but rather an opportunity to unlock new and better forms of growth across economies. New technologies provide opportunities for rapidly falling costs and resulting in tremendous co-benefits from climate action: livable cities; fruitful ecosystems; and new waves of innovation and learning. Sustained climate action is necessary for strong and inclusive growth and the attainment of the Sustainable Development Goals for the African continent included.
