African Development Bank Kicks off Creation of Four Green Banks in Africa

The African Development Bank (AfDB) has started creating four green banks in Africa to mobilise up to $1.5 billion by 2030 towards green financing.

The move, through the African Green Bank Initiative, is due to a lack of climate finance made available at each successive Conference of the Parties (COP) meeting on climate crisis held by the UN.
