Carbon Pricing and Article 6: Unlocking Africa's Climate and Economic Potential
From
Otaviano Canuto, Senior Fellow at the Policy Center for the New South, will participate in a high-level virtual webinar on Wednesday, May 28th, 2025, at 4:00 p.m. GMT. The session will focus on the critical role of Article 6 of the Paris Agreement in unlocking Africa’s climate and economic potential through effective carbon pricing mechanisms.
As Africa faces growing climate challenges while pursuing sustainable development, the webinar will explore how international cooperation under Article 6—both market and non-market approaches—can support credible carbon pricing systems across the continent.
Featuring Ghana’s groundbreaking bilateral implementation of Article 6.2 with Switzerland, the event will offer practical insights and a roadmap for other African countries seeking to build robust carbon markets.
This discussion arrives at a crucial moment for Africa’s climate agenda, providing a platform for policymakers, climate finance experts, civil society, and the private sector to engage in shaping the future of green growth on the continent.
