Rather than treating climate risk as just another compliance exercise, businesses should invest the necessary time and resources to capture value (or avoid loss) as the world transitions to hotter weather and a carbon-free economy.
Although Africa has contributed less than 3% of the world's cumulative CO2 emissions since 1750 and the average African emits 10 times less CO2 than a North American, it is feeling a disproportionate impact from climate change. The time is now to direct climate capital to the continent.
