Casablanca, Morocco | November 20–21, 2025
Join us in Casablanca to connect with changemakers and contribute to shaping Africa’s climate future.
The Casablanca Climate Leadership Forum (CCLF) 2025 will take place on 20–21 November 2025 at ESCA Ecole de Management, Casablanca Finance City. Now in its third edition, the Forum has established itself as a leading platform in Africa for advancing the climate agenda through research, dialogue, and cross-sector collaboration.
Organized by ESCA Ecole de Management in partnership with Business Schools for Climate Leadership Africa (BS4CL Africa), the CCLF brings together academics, business leaders, policymakers, and civil society actors to address the urgent challenges and opportunities of climate action on the continent.
The program is structured around two complementary days:
- Scientific Day (20 November 2025): A space for cutting-edge research, workshops, and case discussions that foster knowledge creation and dissemination on climate leadership, innovation, and sustainability. Scholars and practitioners will exchange insights on new pedagogies, actionable business cases, and evidence-based solutions.
- Stakeholders’ Day (21 November 2025): A high-level dialogue engaging leaders from industry, finance, policy, and civil society. Structured around thematic panels, discussions will explore pathways to decarbonized industries, regulatory and financial support for sustainable growth, and inclusive collective action to shape a resilient and sustainable future for Africa.
With its unique mix of academic rigor and practical engagement, the CCLF 2025 will showcase Africa’s leadership in climate action and catalyze concrete initiatives and partnerships to accelerate the continent’s transition toward a low-carbon and inclusive economy.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
