Digitalization is a growth driver across Africa, including for green jobs and innovation. Digital solutions can also help protect vulnerable populations from the impacts of climate change. At the same time the digital sector is susceptible to climate risks and a growing source of GHG emissions. The roundtable will discuss how governments and the private sector can climate proof digital infrastructure and accelerate sustainable digital development. The event is organized by Smart Africa and World Bank.
