About this episode

The episode discusses the impact of the Trump administration's climate policies on global ESG efforts and Africa's sustainability agenda.

In this episode of ESG Matters with Risk Insights, host Anushka Bogdanov explores the impact of the Trump administration’s climate policies on global ESG efforts, Africa’s sustainability agenda, and corporate climate strategies. The withdrawal from the Paris Agreement and rollback of over 100 environmental regulations weakened global climate commitments, affecting Africa’s access to climate finance and slowing ESG adoption. Despite these setbacks, Africa has an opportunity to lead in renewable energy, supply chain transparency, and ESG reporting.
