Africa source of growth, focus of interest for international emissions offset market
08 Mar 10
Five hundred were expected but more than 1,000 private and public sector
participants from Africa and elsewhere turned out for the second
Africa Carbon Forum, all
hoping to tap the potential of greenhouse gas emission offset projects on the continent.
Africa accounts for just under two percent of the 2,060-plus registered clean development
mechanism (CDM) projects in 63 countries worldwide. However, the continent has seen a strong
growth trend in the past few years. There are now 122 CDM projects in Africa that are either
registered or in the pipeline for validation or registration. This up from 116 in 2009, 75 in 2008
and just 42 in 2007.
