| dc.description | The Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) hosted an expert group meeting to discuss the development of African carbon credit markets, in particular building on work that ECA has led to support the creation of a regional carbon registry and a harmonized protocol for issuance of carbon credits for countries of the Congo Basin Climate Commission.
The session formed part of the "African Roundtable on Initiatives to Accelerate Climate Action and Advance the SDGs" from 2-4 August 2022.
The Expert Group Meeting brought together experts from the Congo Basin Climate Commission to move forward with the project to establish a high-integrity registry for the region. Speaking at the launch of the EGM, Executive Secretary Vera Songwe underlined that carbon markets would be an opportunity for African countries to leverage the true value of their natural capital and raise much-needed resources for development and climate resilience. | en |
