• Continued collaboration among government institutions, local communities, researchers, private investors and development partners will be critical to building a transparent, credible and inclusive carbon economy that.
• Governments, businesses and communities that reduce or remove greenhouse gas emissions can generate carbon credits, which are sold to organisations seeking to offset their emissions.
