UNCTAD supports the African Carbon Forum as part of the Nairobi Framework Partnership since its first edition in 2008, which started in Dakar, Senegal. It does so by linking its trade-related work on renewable energy, sustainable agriculture and climate change with similar efforts by other partner organizations to promote low-carbon development in Africa.

In 2017 the 9th Africa Carbon Forum (ACF) will focus on how engagement between State and non‐State actors can be further strengthened in the key sectors for Africa (energy, agriculture and human settlements), including the role of future carbon markets to achieve enhanced climate action, towards the goals of sustainable development.

The event will cover:

  • Practical examples of policies, initiatives and actions in Africa;
  • Barriers and enabling measures for engaging climate action in key sectors;
  • Financial instruments and regulatory frameworks;
  • Advancing the implementation of climate action across Africa.

The event is open to all interested practitioners working on policy and market aspects of low-carbon economy, environmental products, carbon trading, energy, agriculture and human settlements in Africa.
