An African G20 Opportunity: Making the case for the bioeconomy, green industrialisation, growth, jobs and skills development
South Africa currently has a significant opportunity to influence a more equitable and sustainable international economic and financial architecture in its G20 leadership. This will be Africa’s first G20 Presidency, the African Union’s second year with a permanent seat, and the third and final back-to -back G20 Global South Presidency (India, Brazil and now South Africa). An important part of this agenda is how nature — the economic engine and core vulnerability of so many low- and middle-income countries (LMICS) — is integrated into broader sustainable economic development and financing strategies. Recognising that nature — whether in the form of forest economies, agriculture, critical minerals, fisheries, biomass, genetic information or ecosystem services — represents a critical and increasingly vulnerable driver of economic growth, food security and international finance, the Brazilian government initiated a global bioeconomy working group under their G20 presidency last year.
NatureFinance invites qualified bidders to submit a proposal for the provision of consultancy services for a landscaping and scoping assessment of the biocredits across Africa.
