Description
As climate negotiators, policymakers and advocates gear up for the Africa Climate Week and the Africa Climate Summit in Addis Ababa, on the road to COP30, now is the time to place land rights, responsible investment, and inclusive, community-led approaches at the heart of the climate agenda. Following COP29, which left many unanswered questions regarding the mobilisation and delivery of climate finance for developing countries, the question of climate finance remains high on the agenda for Africa Climate Week.

With the New Collective Quantified Goal (NCQG) including provisions for carbon markets as a tool for channelling climate finance to developing countries, this webinar comes at a pivotal moment to ask: What do net zero strategies and investments in land-based carbon removal mean for land rights and for communities, and how can we transform risks into opportunities to meet climate goals?

Why this matters?

Encouraged by the financial promise of carbon markets, investments in land-based climate solutions, such as afforestation and ecosystem restoration are gaining ground globally. These investments hold the potential to advance climate and socioeconomic development objectives. But they also require large areas of land, often in places where tenure systems are weak and community rights insecure. In the absence of robust legal processes and strong and enforceable safeguards, such investments risk deepening inequalities and driving land dispossession.
