This year’s Oxford Africa Business Forum 2023, on 10th March 2023, will delve into discussions focused on sustainable transition and climate change, and the role of big business. The sessions will focus on identifying sectors which can play a leading role in addressing how to create a sustainable path to prosperity, how to fund this transition, and how African leaders can spearhead their own narrative.
The Ghana Climate Innovation Centre is very proud to announce that Ruka Sanusi, Executive Director of the GCIC, has been invited to be on the panel which will delve into “What does just transition mean for Africa?” scheduled for 14:00–14:45 GMT on the 10th of March, 2023.
Made up of two other speakers, NJ Ayuk, Executive Chairman, African Energy Chamber and Rolake Akinkugbe Filani, Chief Commercial Officer, Mixta Africa (ARM Group), the panel will look at actions to address climate change that also create particular challenges for social justice, and for the future of jobs in Africa and how with the right choices and measures, African countries can manage the trade-offs and achieve both their development and social objectives to make sure the process of greening African economies doesn’t worsen existing inequalities.
A business advisor supporting companies and their leaders in the areas of strategy, operations and transformation, with a gender and climate action lens, Ruka offers 3 decades of of international consulting experience in Europe and across sub-Saharan Africa. Her professional background and current role as Executive Director at the GCIC affords her a deep knowledge of matters pertinent to business/organizational strategy and operations, sustainability and climate action in the government and business sector; gender and entrepreneurship, as well as SME-growth.
