What: Finance in Common Summit 2022, ‘Green and Just transition for a sustainable recovery’
When: 19–20 October, 2022
Where: Abidjan, Ivory Coast, and online
The third edition of the summit will be co-organised by the African Development Bank (AfDB) and the European Investment Bank (EIB).
The summit will provide an opportunity to highlight the key role of public development banks in supporting the transformation of economies and financial systems towards sustainability.
According to the AfDB, as the Covid-19 crisis wrote off decades of economic investments and social progress, it is crucial to mainstream green and just transition principles in all financial actors’ investments and operations in order to build back greener and fairer.
The summit, the bank added, will foster debates on the importance of finance in common to resilience and adaptation, green and quality infrastructure, health and social protection while supporting human rights-based approaches and fighting against inequalities.
