Must-attend events this February and March

Hey,

Welcome to Green Jobs Rising!

Today we are talking about events. But why do we share this list?

Events are a major stepping stone for networking. They give you a chance to meet founders and other leaders that you would not normally get to interact with.

If you are in South Africa, there is a major event coming to your country:

Africa’s Green Economy Summit (AGES). This flagship continental event sits at the intersection of policy, finance, innovation, and climate action. 

It attracts high-level decision-makers from government, development finance institutions, the private sector, and sustainability practitioners.

Because it focuses on scaling Africa’s green and blue economy solutions, it is both practical and forward-looking. 

AGES is ideal for anyone looking to turn sustainability ideas into funded projects across Africa.

Attending AGES gives you:

• Access to key decision-makers and investors shaping Africa’s green economy

• Actionable insights on sustainable finance, biodiversity protection, climate resilience, and green industrialisation

• Networking opportunities with policymakers, funders, innovators, and corporates across Africa

• Exposure to scalable solutions and partnerships that can be implemented across sectors and regions
