THE TRIPLE PLANET CRISIS IS HITTING AFRICA

Africa is not just wilting under the relentless sun of climate change; ​the continent is also suffocating under the weight of widespread ​pollution and witnessing the heart-wrenching erosion of its ​biodiversity.

And this is majorly due to overconsumption

8.5


of economic ​damages

due to climate change

of African countries

heavily rely on their natural ​resources, giving ground to ​resource extraction

110​

of Africans

bearing the brunt of climate ​change

- 34 %

of agricultural

production

since 1961 due to

climate change

Empowering Africa to embrace sustainable ​consumption and production is vital.


Without this shift, an anticipated population ​of 2.5 billion could negate the hard-won ​advances in combating climate change

Circular synergy for Africa’s growth

The fusion of ACEA's strategic initiatives with ACEF's ​financial and technical support embodies a dynamic force ​fueling a sustainable and resilient future for the continent
