On October 16, 2025, ClimateFIGS will bring together three recent MSc graduates whose theses offer fresh evidence and perspectives on climate finance in Africa. Their research examines the politics, practices, and distributional dynamics of climate finance. Together with the PI of ClimateFiGS, Dr. Ruth Carlitz, these early-career scholars will discuss how foundational research generates new directions for understanding climate finance. The presentations will be followed by reflections and discussions.
