Senegal is eager to transform its economy towards greater sustainability, focusing on green growth and renewable energy initiatives. This commitment underscores the nation’s dedication to a resilient and environmentally friendly future, as outline by the green transition plan.
For this purpose, Climate & Company successfully concluded a series of four workshops in Senegal focused on the classification of economic activities as sustainable, known as taxonomy development.
