Carbon markets are developing rapidly across Africa, while policy and governance frameworks continue to evolve. Land and forest rights, community interests, carbon standards and government approaches to revenue sharing can all affect the viability and integrity of projects.
Climate and carbon markets
For investors, developers and other stakeholders, the political and governance context can be as important as the technical design of a project. Land rights, community agreements, government policy and revenue-sharing arrangements all affect long-term viability.
How we work in this sector
We assess the integrity of land and forest rights underpinning a carbon project, alongside the community agreements and government positions that determine whether revenue-sharing terms will hold. This draws on our enhanced due diligence and stakeholder engagement services, applied to the specific integrity questions carbon projects raise.
