Summit of the Future – What Next? At the "Summit of the Future – What Next?" yesterday session, global leaders discussed how to accelerate SDG progress through enhanced financing and reforms in the international financial system. Hon. Obeth Mbuipaha Kandjoze from Namibia opened by highlighting the limitations of GDP-based country classifications, which often misrepresent middle-income nations' realities and restrict access to concessional financing. Guy Ryder, UN Under-Secretary-General, emphasized that delivering on the SDGs is a global investment and called for urgent financial reforms to ensure developing nations have a stronger voice in global institutions. Prime Minister Suminwa Tuluka of the DRC stressed the need for fair carbon credit pricing, noting that resource-rich countries like the DRC are not compensated equitably for their contributions to global climate solutions. Prime Minister Robert Beugré Mambé of Côte d'Ivoire added that gis country aims for 40% renewable energy by 2030, emphasizing economic diversification and green energy. The session underscored that achieving the SDGs requires financial reform, shared responsibility, and inclusive growth. As we prepare for the International Conference on Financing for Development, global efforts must ensure that no nation is left behind. #HSC2024 #MGGNetwork #ShapingFutures #ShapingFuturesNetwork #YouthEntrepreneurship #SustainableDevelopment #SDGs #SustainableDevelopment #ClimateFinance #GlobalPartnerships #FutureSummit #Africa Isaac Kodjo Atchikiti Sven Grimm Axel Berger Reon van der Merwe Mildred Neema Okwako German Institute of Development and Sustainability (IDOS) Isabelle Eberz HATIM EL OTMANI Dr. Johanna Vogel Chris Büscher Yacine N.

🌍 Navigating Africa's Path to Sustainable Growth: Key Challenges and Zeitec contribution 🌍 In the McKinsey & Company report, "An Affordable, Reliable, Competitive Path to Net Zero," one key challenge for Africa is summarized in this powerful sentence: "Many low-income countries that have relatively low emissions today, the key priority might be driving economic growth and job creation now and striving to do so in ways that could also keep future emissions low." To avoid any slowdown in the adoption of sustainable practices, African governments are increasingly focusing on simplifying processes and enhancing governance around climate-friendly regulatory frameworks. This necessary effort should be combined with innovative solutions to address the critical issue of initial investment costs. 🎯 High upfront costs for sustainable technologies pose a significant barrier. There is an urgent need for access to affordable financing options to kickstart the green transitions. The report highlights that achieving net-zero emissions globally by 2050 will require an estimated $9.2 trillion in annual capital spending on physical assets for energy and land-use systems. For Africa, incremental spending of approximately $3.5 trillion per year will be needed, which is a considerable burden for economies already grappling with basic development needs. What we do? Zeitec is building solutions to overcome Financial Barriers that will include: 💶 Innovative financing mechanisms with blended Finance, combining public and private investments to reduce risks for private investors. 📁 Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) Collaboration, encouraging partnerships between governments, private sector players, and international investors to pool resources and expertise. 🔧 Capacity Building and Technology Transfer , including investment in education and skill development to build a workforce capable of supporting green technologies. Technology Partnerships, facilitating technology transfer from developed countries to ensure access to the latest sustainable innovations and best practices. 🔑 Market access to Carbon Market opportunities to  provide additional revenue streams for low-emission projects. By addressing these financial challenges and implementing strategic solutions, Africa can pave the way for sustainable development that benefits both its economies and the environment. Let’s rally global support and investment to help these nations overcome their capital constraints and achieve a greener future! 🌱🌏 #SustainableDevelopment #NetZero #ClimateChange #EconomicGrowth #JobCreation #GreenEnergy #LowIncomeCountries #GlobalBridges #Sustainability #Investment #CarbonMarkets #CapitalNeeds
