Casablanca Climate Leadership Forum (CCLF) 2025

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.
