CASA African Investment Summit at AGRF / Deal Room 2022 (in-person)

Tipping the balance: Opportunities in climate adaptation for African smallholder farmers and SMEs

Currently 95% of climate finance is supplied by public sources and allocated towards low-hanging fruit to mitigate climate change. To get beyond the low-hanging fruit the world will have to consider smaller investment opportunities that, in aggregate, can significantly adapt to climate change in Africa. If no action is taken, climate impacts in Africa will lead to overall yield reductions of up to 30% by 2050, while extreme weather events will result in higher post-harvest quality and quantity losses.
 
This session explored how to effectively attract more funding to the agri-SME sector to achieve this aim while managing the risks.
