Afreximbank\u2019s engagement is rooted in the core principles of the AU Agenda 2063: The Africa We Want, with a particular focus on the critical role of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) in fostering climate-resilient economies.<\/p>\n<p>A key element of the Bank\u2019s advocacy is the mobilisation of climate finance, particularly to support the adaptation goals of its member countries. Additionally, Afreximbank is championing the swift operationalisation of the Loss and Damage Fund, ensuring that African countries, who are disproportionately impacted by climate events despite contributing less than 4% of global emissions, receive fair compensation and can build the necessary domestic structures to access these funds.<\/p>\n<p>In line with President Dr. George Elombi\u2019s vision, Afreximbank is highlighting Africa\u2019s vast potential in value addition and strategic minerals processing. Rather than exporting raw materials, the Bank is promoting financing for full value chains, such as transforming the Democratic Republic of Congo\u2019s lithium into batteries, positioning Africa as a centre for clean technology and fostering high-skilled employment.<\/p>\n<p>The Bank is also advocating for a just and equitable energy transition that acknowledges Africa\u2019s right to address its energy poverty, which leaves over 600 million people without electricity. This approach seeks a balance between renewable energy sources and the responsible use of transitional fuels, such as natural gas, to drive industrialisation.<\/p>\n<p>Further, Afreximbank is emphasizing the importance of Africa\u2019s biodiversity, a key resource for climate resilience through the absorption of harmful emissions. The Bank is committed to supporting its member countries in monetising their biodiversity as a strategy to combat the adverse effects of climate change.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, Afreximbank is showcasing its financial initiatives, including the Afreximbank Trade Transformation Fund (ATTF), which serves as a primary vehicle for de-risking and financing green projects across the continent.<\/p>\n<p>At COP30, the Bank\u2019s participation features high-level dialogues, thematic panels, and side events, such as activities at the African Pavilion and a session with Liberia on establishing a carbon markets authority.<\/p>\n<p>Commenting on Afreximbank\u2019s role at COP30, Mrs. Kanayo Awani, Executive Vice President for Intra-African Trade and Export Development at Afreximbank, remarked:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur mission at COP30 is clear: to ensure that Africa\u2019s voice is not only heard but acted upon. Our approach is one of proactive transformation, adding value to our rich mineral resources, powering our industries with a sustainable energy mix, and leveraging the AfCFTA to build resilient, integrated economies. We are using our influence to mobilise Global African capital and demand a globally recognised and supported framework for Africa\u2019s just energy transition, ensuring that comprehensive climate action actively serves and reinforces Africa\u2019s development and industrialisation goals.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Gambia<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Gambia.
