THE CLIMATE ECONOMY:

Creating value for African nations through international carbon markets

RISING TEMPERATURES, RISING RISKS.

The sum of human activity on earth discharges approximately 51 billion metric tonnes (MT) of Greenhouse Gases (GHG) into the atmosphere annually. Climate change expresses the accumulated impact of an increased presence of GHG in the atmosphere characterized by atmospheric warming threatening the viability of long-term, sustainable human economic activity at current levels.

GLOBAL RESPONSE

The global response to the threat posed by increased levels of carbon in the atmosphere is multi-faceted. Preserving existing mass carbon sequestration resources, including forestland, certain grasslands, and coastal swamps, which effectively sequester carbon at scale, are vital components in the global effort to reduce atmospheric carbon.

SECOND LUNG

Sub-Saharan Africa is home to vast areas of forestland. Often referenced as the world’s “second lung.” African forests play a crucial role in future efforts to preserve and maximize existing global carbon mass sequestration resources.
Collectively, African forestland represents a vital segment of the continent’s natural assets or natural capital, which are essential to sustaining human life.
Threatened by deforestation and related population pressures, African forests can be preserved and protected by leveraging their natural capital as a global carbon sequestration resource traded on international markets as a carbon offsets.

AFRICAN LEADERSHIP

Building on existing relationships with African governments, Carbon Credit Africa Resources focuses on furthering relationships with African leaders to support economic and social development by monetizing carbon sequestration resources while introducing alternatives to deforestation.

DEVELOPMENT CYCLE

Carbon Credit Africa Resources brings the tools and expertise to assist African governments in realizing the value of and protecting forestland natural capital through a comprehensive carbon offset development cycle.

MEASURE, REPORT, VERIFY

Working with African governments, the Carbon Credit Africa Team of international experts deploys advanced technologies to measure, report, verify, and publicly document certification for existing carbon sequestration resources for sale as carbon offsets on global markets

REFORESTATION

Carbon Credit Africa Resources brings resources to end deforestation and enable reforestation while providing alternative sources for basic life-sustaining materials to redirect and reduce population pressures on forestland resources.

ALTERNATIVES

Carbon Credit Africa Resources develops large-scale projects and supports the linked-creation of related manufacturing to provide basic life-sustaining materials as an alternative to deforestation and a secondary source of additional carbon offsets.
