Frequently Asked Questions about the Africa Climate x Nature Salon

  • Salons are small, curated rooms where ideas are tested, not performed.

    Africa Climate x Nature Salon brings that tradition into Africa-focused climate, nature, diplomacy, and technology work by creating curated strategy spaces where frontline leadership, technical builders, investors, and policy actors gather for facilitated discussion that interrogates assumptions, confronts real constraints, and shapes how solutions are designed, financed, and deployed across African contexts.

    Each salon generally convenes no more than 30 participants, intentionally mixing frontline leaders, technical innovators, and institutions shaping how solutions are designed and funded.

    Each Salon centers on a specific theme. In the room, assumptions about how to solve challenges are interrogated, ideas for programs, interventions, and policies are pressure-tested against lived realities, and participants leave with clearer pathways for partnership and implementation.

  • No. Although our Salon speakers are experts from Africa working on climate and nature issues, participants working across all geographies are more than welcomed to attend the salons to learn from our case studies.
