The Tony Elumelu Foundation, the leading philanthropy committed to empowering the next generation of African entrepreneurs, driving poverty alleviation, catalyzing jobs creation, and ensuring women’s inclusive empowerment; and the United Bank for Africa (UBA) are set to host a high-level roundtable on empowering young African entrepreneurs in the green economy, during the 2023 UN Climate Change Conference (COP 28) in Dubai, UAE.
The roundtable will bring together a powerful group, distinguished by their commitment to creating substantive momentum in addressing climate change, and united with the Tony Elumelu Foundation’s mission to empower a new generation of young African entrepreneurs.
The TEF-UBA roundtable will address delegates and also the largest community of young entrepreneurs across Africa, our program alumni and network. Africa is the continent that contributes least to climate change and is impacted most. Catalyzing a new generation of young Africans, not only represents equity, but it is also a critical path in tackling climate change.
The Tony Elumelu Foundation and the United Bank for Africa (UBA) are pleased to share this unique opportunity to present our vision of the role that young Africans can play in combatting climate change to an audience of global leaders, policymakers, and young African entrepreneurs.
