TheNumbersNG.com, a data driven online news and media organisation, is set to host the inaugural Africa Sustainability Forum (ASF) 2026, bringing together key stakeholders to examine practical pathways for sustainable development and inclusive economic growth across the continent.
The forum, scheduled for October 20, 2026, at Oriental Hotels, Lagos, will be held under the theme, “Sustainable Futures: Driving Just Transitions, Green Growth and Shared Prosperity.”
The organisers said the gathering would provide a platform for policymakers, business leaders, regulators, investors, development partners and sustainability professionals to engage on strategies capable of translating sustainability commitments into measurable outcomes.
According to TheNumbersNG.com, the forum is designed to shift the sustainability discourse from declarations and long term aspirations to practical action, strategic partnerships and measurable impact.
The discussions will address critical issues shaping Africa’s economic and environmental future, including sustainable manufacturing, climate action, responsible consumption, the circular economy, green finance, digital sustainability and inclusive value chains.
The forum will also focus on women’s participation in sustainability, youth empowerment, renewable energy, waste reduction, local sourcing and community development, reflecting the need for a broad based approach to Africa’s transition to a sustainable economy.
Speaking with journalists at the weekend, Lead Coordinator of the Africa Sustainability Forum, Elvis Eromosele, said the initiative was conceived to create a platform where stakeholders could examine how Africa could achieve economic growth while responding effectively to environmental challenges.
Eromosele said the forum would go beyond conventional conference discussions by promoting ideas, partnerships and initiatives capable of delivering tangible results.
According to him, Africa must translate its sustainability ambitions into measurable impact through stronger collaboration among governments, businesses, investors and development partners.
He said, “The Africa Sustainability Forum is designed not simply as a conference, but as a platform for ideas, partnerships and action. Africa needs to translate sustainability ambitions into measurable impact, and that requires businesses, governments, investors and development partners to work together.”
Eromosele added that the event would enable organisations to showcase sustainability initiatives, exchange knowledge and establish partnerships capable of supporting long term economic, environmental and social impact.
The programme will feature executive leadership sessions, keynote presentations, panel discussions, exhibitions and stakeholder networking, while participating organisations will have opportunities to present their sustainability projects to policymakers, investors, corporate executives and development partners.
The organisers have also developed partnership and sponsorship opportunities covering key areas, including climate action, digital sustainability, green finance, circular economy, women in sustainability and sustainability leadership, with Eromosele stressing that collaborative action remains essential to building a more resilient, inclusive and prosperous Africa.
