Presentation of
The West African
Alliance
In the fast-developing West African sub-region,
financing sustainable development is a major
challenge.
West African governments are looking for means to
finance low emission development policies and
projects, which are competing with the 'quick fix' of
large fossil fuel infrastructure projects popping up
across the sub-region.
West Africa intends to utilize Article 6 after limited
participation in carbon markets of the past and to
make sure that the rules governing any new
mechanisms are realistic and applicable.
In September 2017, delegates to the UNFCCC
formed the West African Alliance on Carbon Markets
and Climate Finance to jointly tackle issues relating
to accessing carbon markets and climate finance for
NDC implementation.
