- In villages dotted across the African continent, locals living in once-heavily forested regions are starting to find their land in high demand.
- Community-led voluntary initiatives in Kenya, Mozambique and Ivory Coast that restore thousands of hectares of forest are supported by large international carbon credit organizations such as Blue Forest and the World Resources Institute.
- Although many of these carbon credit schemes are based in Africa, where emissions are far lower and the consequences of climate change far greater than many other parts of the world, the continent remains largely excluded from the carbon market.
With forests aplenty, Africa looks to grow its carbon market
