Committee(s)
African Regional Forum
(Lead)
Description
The emergence of voluntary carbon markets is an important phenomenon for the African continent. This phenomenon, however, is fraught with issues of fair regulation and challenges with credible national or continental legal frameworks for the regulation of such a market. There are, however, many opportunities that the continent can take advantage of in such a market. The session will seek to explore these issues, opportunities, and challenges associated with voluntary carbon markets for the African continent.
