The Africa Climate Forum (ACF) is set to return to Abuja, Nigeria’s capital from October 14 to 15, 2025, bringing together leaders, investors, and innovators to advance discussions on Africa’s green transition.
The two-day event, scheduled to hold at the Shehu Musa Yar’Adua Centre, will convene representatives from government, business, financial institutions, and civil society to explore practical solutions for building a cleaner, fairer, and more resilient continent.
Now in its third edition, the Forum—organised by the Global Centre for Law, Business and Economy, GCLBE, has grown into a major platform driving climate commitments into measurable actions across Africa.
This year’s theme, “Bolder, Greener and Better Steps: Closing Transition Gaps in Africa,” zeroes in on a mission to help African nations move from dialogue to delivery.
Speaking ahead of the Forum, Dr. George Nwangwu, Director General of Global Centre for Law, Business and Economy, GCLBE, emphasised the need to shift focus from climate awareness to tangible execution.
“The real work now is financing, coordination, and execution and that is exactly what this Forum is designed to drive,” she said.
ACF 2025 will explore how African countries can bridge the transition gap by aligning local needs with international opportunities in finance, innovation, and trade.
These platforms aim to move the conversation beyond pledges, targeting real projects that cut emissions, improve energy access, and drive job creation.
Participants will include stakeholders from government, finance, academia, and the private sector.
Since its debut in 2023, the Africa Climate Forum has evolved into one of the continent’s most respected platforms for climate action.
ACF 2025 is expected to highlight how Africa can leap beyond transition gaps—transforming challenges into home-grown, scalable solutions that contribute to a greener global economy.
