The African Sustainability Concert is scheduled for October 2024 in the UK, focusing on the critical issues of climate change and environmental degradation that affect Africa’s economy and drive migration to Europe and the Western world.
This diverse event will feature a conference, exhibition, award ceremony, and concert, all aimed at addressing key sustainability challenges and promoting positive change across Africa.
