Lagos will host the West Africa Sustainability Summit and Awards (WASSA) on October 2, 2026. The event brings together government, business, and civil society to discuss ESG integration, climate finance, renewable energy, carbon markets, and sustainable agriculture. The theme is 'Accelerating Africa's Green Transition: People, Planet & Prosperity,' with a focus on youth and gender inclusion. The summit includes six thematic pillars, from corporate accountability to digital green technology. An independent panel will evaluate nominees for the West African Sustainability Awards, covering corporate excellence, leadership, and innovation. For investors and policy makers, the summit is a chance to gauge where West Africa stands on green investment and what barriers remain.
