SUMMARY:The African Opportunity in Carbon Trading
DESCRIPTION:This webinar will introduce carbon trading as a practical tool for supporting Africa’s clean energy transition. The webinar will explain how both compliance and voluntary carbon markets work and how renewable energy producers in Africa can earn revenue by selling carbon credits from emissions reductions. By highlighting opportunities in solar\, wind\, hydro\, and geothermal energy\, the webinar will help policymakers\, developers\, and sustainability professionals understand how to access carbon finance and benefit from the growing global demand for it.  \n\n\n\nThe session will also explore the main factors that enable or limit participation in carbon markets across the continent. This includes the need for clear regulations\, strong monitoring and reporting systems\, and fair benefit-sharing practices. Challenges such as high project costs\, limited market access\, and policy uncertainty will be addressed\, along with new initiatives like national carbon registries and the African Gold Standard. Overall\, the webinar will provide a platform to share insights and ideas on how Africa can establish a stronger presence in global carbon markets.  \n\n\n\nObjective  \n\n\n\nThis webinar\, hosted by the African School of Regulation and the African Forum of Utility Regulators\, will help participants understand how carbon trading works\, explore the opportunities it offers for Africa’s renewable energy sector\, and discuss the main challenges and practical steps needed to take part in global carbon markets.  \n\n\n\nPanelists:\n\n\n\n\nDario Brescia – Perspectives Climate Group\n\n\n\nDr. Dingane Sithole (PhD) – UNIDO\n\n\n\nDr. Samir Thapa – MECS / Loughborough University\n\n\n\nLydia Omuko-Jung – Climate Focus\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nAGENDA12.50 – 13.00 Participants connect to the platform  13.00 – 13.05 Key Principles of Carbon Trading Challenges and Opportunities  Daniella Ngarambe (ASR) 13.05 – 13.10 Welcome remarks from the ASR Director & AFUR Representative Abdulkadir Shettima (ASR)\,  AFUR Representative  13.10 – 14.25 Key principles of Carbon Trading Challenges and Opportunities  Dario Brescia (Perspectives Climate Group)  Dingane Sithole (UNIDO) Samir Thapa (MECS)  Lydia Omuko-Jung (Climate Focus)  Key Enablers and Considerations 14.25 – 14.30 Summary and Closing Remarks Daniella Ngarambe (ASR)\, Abdulkadir Shettima (ASR)\, AFUR  14.30 END OF THE WEBINAR
