Africa ready to lead on climate action, but calls for homegrown solutions: B Lab Africa
The Star
|October 06, 2025
THE 4th Annual B Lab Africa Summit has heard that the continent is increasingly ready to take action to mitigate against climate change, provided solutions are African-led and tailored to local realities.
Africa remains the continent hardest hit by the impacts of climate change despite contributing just 4% of global carbon emissions. Africa requires an estimated $277 billion annually until 2030 to implement climate solutions.
Speaking during the Summit on Thursday, B Lab Africa CEO Lucy Muiga pointed to Africa's youthful population, abundant natural resources, and entrepreneurial spirit as key assets in addressing the climate crisis.
“Is Africa ready? Yes. Do we still have a long way to go? Yes, but the solutions for Africa are with Africans,” Muiga said.
