1. Green economy summits

The annual green economy summits are now hosted in Uganda, Rwanda, Kenya and Tanzania. In 2023 we are also set to host the first UK-Africa green economy summit.

The summits provide a platform to build consensus around the potential of technologies, policies and renewable energy as engines of a green economy transformation. They demonstrate how global priorities, such as meeting NetZero, protecting habitats and mobilizing finance are key to the 21^st century conversation on sustainable growth.

The Green Economy Summits East Africa (GESEA) are the leading forums on the green economy that bring together experts in critical sectors globally to directly focus on advancing the global green economy and sustainability agenda, achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals and implementing the recommendations of COP21 & 22 and the Paris Agreement.

5. Green parks

We are designing and creating green parks across major cities for everyone now and in the future to explore, value and enjoy.
