What choices can governments make today to build more resilient, inclusive and sustainable economies tomorrow?
Climate action is not separate from economic development. For governments in developing economies, it is increasingly shaping decisions about how to deliver low-carbon, resilient growth, create jobs, expand energy access, mobilise investment, and protect people. Across four days, LSE Environment Week will bring together researchers, policymakers and practitioners, connecting rigorous economic evidence with local priorities and the constraints governments are navigating, helping ensure research can inform policy action.
The Africa Track puts African researchers, policymakers and institutions at the heart of this conversation. It will bring locally rooted research and policy perspectives into wider debates on climate finance, adaptation, innovation and sustainable growth, while exploring the priorities shaping the road to COP32.
