Kenya Carbon Markets Conference 2024
The role of commercial financial institutions in supporting private sector. The Government of Kenya is hosting the Kenya Carbon Markets Conference. The purpose of the conference is to showcase Kenya's progress in creating an enabling environment that provides confidence to investors and attracts carbon finance.
Hugh Salway, Director of Market Development and Partnerships at Gold Standard, will take part to a panel discussion entitled "'Navigating Article 6 of the Paris Agreement and voluntary carbon markets", the 26th March.
This two-day conference aims to showcase Kenya’s progress in creating an enabling environment that provides confidence to investors and attracts carbon finance towards the country’s climate positive growth. It will share knowledge and experiences on building readiness to participate in high integrity carbon markets while ensuring benefits and that carbon finance is channeled to where it is needed most.
The sessions will also facilitate discussions on turning carbon market opportunities in priority sectors into real investment. Key to this will be expounding on different innovative finance models and the role local financial institutions can play in supporting private sector project developers. Crucial to the discussions will be unpacking the complexities of pricing and building infrastructure to enhance integrity, transparency, and accounting.
