Nedamco Africa
Founded in 2019, Nedamco Africa is committed to tackling climate change through cutting-edge technology and innovative financing.
Our mission is to access the USD 140 trillion capital markets to drive climate financing and adaptation, delivering actionable environmental intelligence for lasting change.
Nedamco Capital, a Netherlands-based family office on a 10-year impact investment journey, founded Nedamco Africa with focus on addressing Africa’s most critical climate challenges.
From water management to agriculture and biodiversity conservation, our transformative solutions aim to build resilience, foster sustainability, and create a better, more prosperous future for Africa and its inhabitants.
climate challenges
Africa is grappling with intensifying climate challenges that threaten its environment, economy, and millions of lives. With water scarcity increasing by 5% annually, biodiversity loss at 4% annually, and temperatures rising by an average of 0.3°C per decade, the urgency for action is clear.
Water Scarcity: In Africa alone, over 1.3 billion people face water scarcity, driven by droughts and erratic rainfall. This disrupts agriculture, and limits access to clean water for 400 million people.
Biodiversity Loss: Africa has seen a staggering 76% drop in monitored vertebrate wildlife populations over the last 50 years due to habitat loss and climate change. With 4 million hectares of forest lost annually, 30.000 plant and animal species are at risk, destabilizing critical ecosystems.
Rising Temperatures: Projected temperature increases of 1.5–4°C by 2100 are compounding health risks, with vector-borne diseases like malaria affecting 200 million people annually—and rising.
Agricultural Impact: Crop yields are expected to fall by 20-50% by 2050, jeopardizing the livelihoods of 33 million smallholder farmers. Irregular weather patterns disrupt planting and harvesting, worsening food insecurity for 282 million people already undernourished.
Funding Gaps: Africa requires $2.8 trillion by 2030 to combat climate challenges but receives less than 10% of global climate finance. Innovative solutions such as green bonds and environmental credits are critical to bridging this gap.
Immediate action and investment are essential to address these issues and build a sustainable, resilient future for Africa.
