The executive roundtable organized by the Development Bank of Nigeria brought together key stakeholders to discuss strategies, challenges, and commitments essential for this transition.

The roundtable session, held in Lagos, served as a platform for financial institutions to explore avenues for increasing access to climate finance and advancing green finance initiatives.

Experts emphasised the urgency of integrating environmental considerations into financial decision-making processes to mitigate the impacts of climate change and promote sustainable development.
