Africa 4 Climate

A4C has been established with the aim of producing and marketing carbon credits generated in Africa, while contributing to sustainable development and biodiversity conservation through the creation of local employment and the reinvestment of part of the profits for local actions.

A4C is a company set up for profit; however, its approach is strongly defined by development and nature conservation objectives. Indeed, the underlying feature of A4C is to contribute to local development by redistributing an important share of the profit to the participating local communities in rural and marginal urban areas. Moreover, the core activities necessary to produce GHG emission reductions and eventually carbon credits, are based on the work of national NGOs and the creation of jobs for local workforce (for example blacksmiths, sellers, farmers,…) providing revenues for economically depressed communities.
