Delivering projects, capital and impactful transactions at scale

Africa’s carbon market is at a turning point. Voluntary markets are slowing due to integrity concerns, while compliance demand is rising but uneven. Africa also faces a growing climate finance gap and pressure to capture more value from its natural assets.

CMAS brings together governments, developers, investors and buyers to align policy, unlock finance, and enable deals – serving as Africa’s carbon marketplace for credible, high‑integrity execution.

CMAS focuses on what matters now:

• Building a strong, investable pipeline of African carbon projects

• Connecting global capital and buyers with scalable opportunities

• Supporting transactions, not just frameworks or commitments

CMAS will explore how Africa can leverage its vast natural resources for sustainable development while navigating geopolitical shifts and emerging carbon policies.
