(Addis
Ababa, 18 April 2012) – The 4th Africa Carbon Forum (ACF), this year
in Addis Ababa, opened its doors today to over 1,000 registered participants from
across the globe to foster a discussion on climate change and carbon finance in
Africa.
The
message resonating this year from Addis is that Africa represents a golden
opportunity for a green future.
“The
vast potential represented by African countries in the fight against climate
change cannot be underestimated,” said Christiana Figueres, Executive Secretary of United Nations Framework
Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). “The Africa Carbon Forum is
where potential projects and developers and funders can meet, exchange ideas,
and – it is hoped – take the concrete steps toward greening Africa’s future.”
