Accelerating Africa’s Participation in the Climate Economy


The sheer volume of emissions credits companies need to achieve net-zero emissions goals has overwhelmed the supply of projects.  2022 was a record-breaking year for the voluntary carbon market, and it is expected to grow to $40 billion in market size by 2030.

Africa is the world’s second-largest continent representing about a fifth of the global landmass.  The Congo Basin is Earth’s 2nd lung after the Amazon.  Yet, Africa accounts for less than 13% of the global carbon market. 

Most African nations have existing, unrealized carbon sequestration resources available for sale to global carbon offset markets.  

Please join FEI San Diego and Jaye Connolly-Labelle, Chairman & CEO | RippleNami, Inc., as she discusses the carbon credit market for Africa which provides two significant benefits:
  • Source of income reducing reliance on foreign financial assistance
  • Finance development of new sustainable economies to improve the overall standard of living
 
Prior to our dinner meeting, Strategic Partner TGR Management Consulting will lead a PD Session, "ChatGPT 101, Part II".  Tiffany Rosik, CEO | TGR Management Consulting, will focus on applying AI in business today.
