The Africa-China Centre for Policy and Advisory (ACCPA), with support from The African Climate Foundation (ACF), successfully hosted a high-level Green Finance Workshop on April 29, 2025, at the Fiesta Royale Hotel in Accra, bringing together key actors from across government, financial institutions, and the private sector to advance sustainable finance in Ghana.
The workshop formed part of the strategic Sino-African Green Finance Alliance (SAGFA) initiative and was designed to stimulate dialogue on how climate finance can be leveraged to support Ghana’s transition to a low-carbon, climate-resilient economy, and to drive the country’s industrialization agenda.
Delivering the welcome address, ACCPA’s Executive Director Paul Frimpong noted:
“The green finance agenda is about more than environmental responsibility — it is about economic transformation, national resilience, and generational equity. Through partnerships like this, we can turn finance into a powerful tool for sustainable development.”
The workshop featured keynote presentations on Ghana’s green finance policy landscape and investment readiness, a high-level plenary on green industrialization, and hands-on scenario sessions where participants explored real-world policy, financing, and implementation challenges.
Participants were grouped into thematic stakeholder clusters—Policymakers, Financial Institutions and Investors, and Private Businesses—to engage in interactive problem-solving and share best practices on aligning investment with environmental, social, and governance (ESG) standards.
This workshop underscores the growing momentum toward integrating climate considerations into national development planning and financial regulation in Ghana and across Africa.
A full post-workshop report and policy brief will be published by ACCPA to inform ongoing national dialogue and regional replication.
