Abstract

The green digital economy is reshaping how climate-aligned capital is structured and deployed in emerging markets. This paper analyses the convergence of ESG-oriented investment flows, digital infrastructure, and renewable energy integration across Africa and Latin America. Drawing on 2025–2026 sector financing data, it examines how debt-led cleantech capital is accelerating Africa’s energy transition and how regulatory positioning in Latin America is attracting green digital investment. The analysis identifies governance gaps, blended finance requirements, and second-order implications for institutional investors and policymakers seeking durable exposure to climate-aligned growth.
