About this listen

Africa is warming faster than the rest of the world, making climate risk not only a major financial challenge but also a growing opportunity for the continent’s banking sector. Michael Avery speaks with Yaseen Lockhat, Senior Specialist in Sustainable Finance at the Banking Association of South Africa (BASA), about how this reality is pushing banks to adjust traditional risk models, data systems, and lending practices. The discussion highlights how African banks are evolving their approach to sustainability - turning climate challenges into opportunities for growth, resilience, and long-term impact.
