ZERO13 is proudly sponsoring a webinar hosted by Vuka Group, Africa’s Green Economy Summit and Carbon Markets Africa Summit.
Africa’s nature-based assets are at the heart of the global climate solution, from carbon credits and conservation projects to water, food, and energy security. But how do we unlock real finance, integrity, and impact at scale?
The answer is on the chain.
Join us for a free, dynamic webinar where we’ll explore how digital finance and blockchain are reshaping climate finance, unlocking new investment pathways into Africa’s carbon and green real-world assets (RWAs), and driving transparency for developers, investors, companies, and governments alike.
