ABSTRACT
Entrepreneurs, as stakeholders in the global economy, can address social concerns irrespective of gender, age, educational background and location on Earth. However, the role of African entrepreneurs in addressing climate change concerns is yet to be fully felt by the world at a time when climate menace threatens human survival. This study, therefore, seeks to discuss how African entrepreneurs, as stakeholders of the ecological environment, can actively promote climate action through transformational change. This conceptual document was extracted from secondary data and organised into manifolds of peer-reviewed academic journals of varying degrees that highlight the relationship between entrepreneurship, stakeholder theory, environmental sustainability, and climate action. The survival and well-being of citizens depend largely on environmental sustainability, to which local entrepreneurs, as strategic stakeholders, can contribute to climate action. The study contributes to the theoretical discussion on the role of local entrepreneurs as stakeholders can adopt management principles in resolving the climate change menace from an African perspective, as the study reinforces that stakeholder management results in collective benefit.
