Climate Smart Conference for Entrepreneurs 2024 Last week, we participated in a two-day Climate Smart Conference hosted by WIGGLE VENTURES. The event was officiated by Hon. Elias Mubanga, Minister of SME Development who encouraged industry leaders in the climate sector to synthesize information for target audiences at the grassroots level, particularly in rural areas. He emphasized the need for solutions to be simple and accessible, enabling collective efforts to address the effects of climate change. The Minister also urged financial institutions to address bottlenecks in unlocking green funds. During the event, our Initiative Lead for Sustainable Industries, Chibesa Kalunga, led a panel discussion on Carbon Markets, Trading, and Credits: Are There Opportunities for Entrepreneurs? The session aimed to explore the challenges of participating in the carbon market and to highlight opportunities available for Zambian entrepreneurs from Prospero’s vast experience on the most practical and effective tools for resilient and sustainable entrepreneurship. #ClimateSmart #SustainableDevelopment #SMEDevelopment #CarbonMarkets #ZambianEntrepreneurs #GreenFunds #ClimateAction
