November 6, 2023

Africa is particularly vulnerable to climate change stressors like water scarcity, rising sea levels and heatwaves, which require urgent attention and innovative solutions. The demand for cooling and cold storage is increasing as well. Tech innovations can help make essential services more affordable and accessible. To mitigate these stressors, we invest in climate-smart essential services that help build resilience.

The Catalyst Fund is at the forefront of supporting innovative entrepreneurs who are driving change that can transform Africa's future by making it more resilient and sustainable in the face of climate challenges.
