Africa's Carbon Credit deployments

Africa—advancing with initiatives like the Africa Carbon Markets Initiative (ACMI)—is working to set high standards for integrity in carbon markets, ensure local communities benefit, and establish itself as a major destination for climate finance. This focus seeks to ensure that the gains are not just environmental but also social and economic, supporting the broader Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Africa’s use of carbon credits is helping combat climate change while providing much-needed funding for sustainable development, infrastructure, health, and economic opportunity. As these markets grow, prioritising transparency, fair pricing, and community empowerment will be essential for ensuring that the continent fully benefits from this new form of climate finance.
