“The environmental challenges facing African countries are immense. The continent needs to mobilise more climate finance and investment in the next eight years than the entire world has managed over the past twenty years. It is against this backdrop that DLA Piper, alongside its valued partners, are excited to introduce a Model Law that will hopefully go some way to addressing these challenges. The Model Law will enable the use of a newly designed regulatory framework that will support and encourage governments and global institutional investors to work together to deliver ‘green’ infrastructure investment programmes and ’green’ infrastructure projects which will facilitate the delivery of African countries NDC commitments, to the ultimate benefit of us all.”
