As Africa prepares for the Second Africa Climate Summit (ACS2) in Addis Ababa from September 8–10, 2025, attention is turning to the initiatives that could reshape how the continent navigates climate and development challenges.
Among the participating institutions is the Africa Green Economy and Sustainability Institute (AGESI), a relatively new player in the policy and action space. Established with its first office in Nigeria, the institute describes itself as a “do-tank,” aiming to shift the conversation from pledges to practical outcomes.
At ACS2, AGESI is expected to spotlight its Africa Green Opportunity Index (GOI), a tool designed to reposition Africa’s green transition. Rather than framing the continent purely through the lens of climate vulnerability, the index emphasizes Africa’s potential as a hub for renewable energy, critical minerals, and sustainable growth.
The summit itself, convened by the African Union Commission and the Government of Ethiopia, is intended as a rallying point for governments, development partners, private investors, and civil society. Its theme—“Accelerating Global Climate Solutions: Financing Africa’s Resilient and Green Development”—underscores the urgency of securing climate finance while advancing homegrown strategies.
For AGESI, the Addis gathering will also be an opportunity to push for greater regional cooperation and financial innovation in the run-up to COP30 in Belém, Brazil. Beyond frameworks and discussions, the institute says it works with communities and leaders to turn commitments into scalable projects, aligning with broader efforts to secure a fair and sustainable future for the continent.
The three-day summit is expected to generate momentum around issues such as electric mobility, renewable energy expansion, and financing pathways for Africa’s climate goals—areas where AGESI and similar institutions are looking to play influential roles.
