The role of finance in protecting people, planet and prosperity in the Indian Ocean and Southern Africa
Registration on Eventbrite.
The South-West Indian Ocean region is one of the world’s most vulnerable regions to climate change, facing high tropical cyclones, floods, and drought risks, among others. Serving as the World Bank Country Director for Mozambique, Madagascar, Mauritius, Comoros and Seychelles since 2020, Idah Pswarayi-Riddihough brings a unique perspective and hands-on experience on supporting these countries in preparing for and responding to disasters small and large. She has seen up close what bottlenecks countries face in extreme crisis situations, as well as what they need to adapt to a changing climate in the medium and long term. The talk will be followed by a panel discussion and Q&A.
