Carbon Markets Africa

ollowing on from the success of last year’s event, the 3rd Annual Carbon Markets Africa will showcase the current CDM business opportunities in Africa and will look to establish Africa’s path to generating a robust and sizeable carbon market.  The event will create a platform for CDM project hosts to interact with the key players in the carbon markets value chain to deliver a progressive plan of action for a potentially substantial carbon market.  In the global sphere, Africa is underrepresented in the generation of CERs; it has fallen behind the overwhelming dominant CDM project leader, Asia. According to the UNFCCC, the continent has less than 3% of CDM projects across the globe, the facts make for disappointing reading and with international negotiations gathering pace, Africa needs to take ownership of the future of its carbon markets.

Africa’s budding market needs the support, infrastructure and investment to reach its full capacity as well as a clear understanding of how carbon can complement business strategies and play a part in new business models. Carbon Markets Africa 2009 is well placed to lead discussions pre-COP15 and will offer delegates and speakers alike an international stage to debate what Africa will bring to the Copenhagen negotiations and what the shape of its future carbon market will be. This is a must-attend for those in need of an update on the current state of CDM and voluntary market opportunities in Africa and a chance to quiz the experts holding the answers to Africa’s future in the global carbon markets.
