The multi-stakeholder Forum was jointly organized by the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), the UN Environment Programme (UNEP), the UNEP Risoe Centre, the World Bank, the African Development Bank (AfDB), and the International Emissions Trading Association (IETA).

The Africa Carbon Forum 2014, which took place in Windhoek, Namibia, from 2-4 July 2014, aimed to support Africa’s participation in global carbon markets and catalyze green investments in the region, including through the Programme of Action (PoA) of the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM), which is suited to micro- and small-scale projects. The Forum attracted approximately 400 participants and included presentations from both private and public sector experts.
