A NEW OPPORTUNITY BRIEF FROM THE CIFAR ALLIANCE CARBON FINANCE WORKING GROUP. Original post via CIFAR Alliance, Oct 19, 2022. In Africa, almost half a billion people, or 48% of the
population, depend on nature for their livelihoods. THIS HEAVY RELIANCE ON NATURAL RESOURCES MAKES INDIVIDUALS AND HOUSEHOLDS PARTICULARLY VULNERABLE TO CHANGES IN CLIMATE, LAND COVER, AND
LAND POLICY. Current estimates indicate there are more than 50 million smallholder farmers in sub-Saharan Africa, most of whom are working and living in high-risk environments. > _THE
VOLUNTARY CARBON MARKET (VCM), WHERE INDIVIDUALS, INSTITUTIONS, > AND CORPORATIONS BUY AND SELL CARBON CREDITS TO OFFSET THEIR CARBON > EMISSIONS, IS A PROMISING WAY FOR VULNERABLE
COMMUNITIES TO ACCESS > CRITICAL RESOURCES._ This new Opportunity Brief from the CIFAR Alliance EXPLORES HOW THE VCM COULD BE HARNESSED AS A WAY TO PROVIDE ECONOMIC INCENTIVES FOR CLIMATE
MITIGATION AND ADAPTATION IN AFRICA, and to direct a greater share of the benefits to small land stewards, small project developers, and, ultimately, smallholder farmers who have been
excluded from it until now. DOWNLOAD THE OPPORTUNITY BRIEF
