Climate activists in Africa have called the new Africa Carbon Markets Initiative (ACMI) established on November 8 at the COP27 in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt, a distraction from the true solution to climate change.
According to a press statement published by the organisation, the ACMI has a 13-member steering committee comprising African leaders, CEOs, and carbon credit experts who believe the initiative would help the growth of carbon credit manufacturing, create jobs, and safeguard biodiversity in Africa.
The program also stated that it intends to target over 1.5 billion credits annually in Africa by 2050, leveraging over 120 billion US dollars and sustaining over 110 million employment.

Kenya, Malawi, Gabon, Nigeria, and Togo shared their commitments to collaborating with ACMI to scale up carbon credit production via voluntary carbon market activation plans.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, climate activists from Africa said that the initiative is best described as the “incentivization” of pollution which will jeopardize efforts to reduce carbon emissions at source. This climate crisis cannot to solved by shifting air from one part of the world to another which this initiative essentially will be doing, making Africa some sort of a virtual dumping site while our leaders cash in on another false solution.
Nnimmo Bassey, Director, Health of Mother Earth Foundation said: “This initiative is a disincentive to progress in cutting down on emissions. Carbon trade is simply business at the expense of the planet. Unfortunately, the fossil fuel industry backed by Global North governments have found willing partners in African leaders who have shockingly decided to close their ears to the cries of their people carrying the biggest burdens of the climate crisis”
