"Climate Finance in Africa: Mitigation, Compensation, Adaptation" with John Macomber.

The Spring 2024 Workshop will primarily focus on climate adaptation and mitigation, led by the Salata Institute’s Climate Research Cluster on Climate Adaptation in the Gulf of Guinea. Climate Research Workshops will follow Chatham House Rule.

John Macomber is a Senior Lecturer in the Finance unit at Harvard Business School. His professional background includes leadership of real estate, construction, and information technology businesses. At HBS, Mr. Macomber's work focuses on climate adaptation and the future of cities, particularly as aided by the private finance and delivery of public infrastructure projects in both the developed and emerging worlds. His teaching combines infrastructure finance (including public-private partnerships), investing in resilience (notably in the face of sea rise in some areas and drought in others), economic development, and the impact of new technologies in delivering new infrastructure and making old infrastructure more efficient.
