Ghana is bolstering its involvement in international carbon markets by offering a master class for nearly 50 professionals from Ghana and Nigeria, focusing on the development, registration, and trading of carbon credits. This initiative aims to equip participants with essential skills to engage in both compliance and voluntary carbon markets, addressing knowledge gaps that have limited African nations' participation. Ghana's established Carbon Market Office and successful transfer of Authorised Emission Reductions under the Paris Agreement are drawing interest from other African countries seeking to replicate its framework.
