“My role for WUSME here, as well as for the Africa SMB Forum platform, is to defend the interests of Small and Medium Enterprises – he underlined during an interview – therefore access to debates, regulatory and legislative changes on climate change and transition and related markets. As for Africa (states, NGOs, local authorities and companies – including SMEs), the focus remains the search for a better balance in the contributions between the “polluters” countries of the North, West and East of the world, and the countries of the South – including Africans – who need to draw resources from the planet to ensure sustainable development and growth, as inclusive as possible”.
