Malawi has committed 550,000 hectares of forest to a 40-year carbon-credit deal with Trafigura, raising concerns among lawmakers and civil society about legal frameworks and benefit-sharing. The deal, which is expected to generate revenue up to $100 million, allows Trafigura exclusive rights to market carbon credits from Malawian reserves. Critics argue that the arrangement lacks necessary legislation and may constrain future governance of land use and climate policy.
