Zimbabwe’s natural ecosystems are a hugely valuable natural resource. The country is blessed with large intact woodlands, savannahs and wetlands that provide essential services to our people such as clean air and water, pollination and healthy soils. These ecosystems are a vital buffer that protects us from the worst effects of climate change.
The Zimbabwean Carbon Association is a recently inaugurated non-profit organization committed to preserving Zimbabwe's natural ecosystems and driving investment in climate mitigation activities. It represents many of the major investments in carbon project development in the country. The Association aims to bring transparency and accountability to carbon trading in Zimbabwe and position the country as a credible and attractive destination for green financing.
The Association works towards establishing a well-regulated carbon market in compliance with local and international environmental laws. It engages in policy research, white papers, lobbying, advocacy, and capacity development to encourage the establishment of a sustainable carbon market. Additionally, the Association aims to attract local and international capital towards solutions for Zimbabwe's environmental degradation through the carbon market. It also represents the views of its members in non-competitive dealings with government entities and other organizations that impact their common interests.
