Africa’s Carbon Credit Deals With Blue Carbon Stall, Raising Oversight Concerns

Several African nations, including Liberia, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Kenya, and Nigeria, signed major carbon credit agreements with Dubai-based Blue Carbon in 2023 to protect forests and sell credits to global polluters. The deals promised revenue, environmental benefits, and local investment. However, within two years, these agreements stalled or vanished with little implementation. Liberia’s million-hectare deal was halted after concerns about transparency, lack of local consultation, and potential violations of land rights. Similar agreements in Zimbabwe, Zambia, and outside Africa (Papua New Guinea) failed to progress, often lapsing at the MOU stage. Background investigations found no trace of Blue Carbon or its projects in global carbon registry records. The company’s web presence and activities faded in 2025, and its offices could not be verified.

Speaking at the 2nd Matriculation Ceremony of the Forestry Commission Training Centre, Dr. Brown highlighted the importance of […]

EU to Extend Commodity Export Regulations Deadline.

The European Union (EU) has announced a deadline extension for compliance with its new commodity export regulations, which target environmental and human rights concerns associated with key goods imported into the EU. Originally set for early 2025, the revised deadline allows more time for countries and companies involved in exporting high-risk commodities—such as cocoa, palm oil, coffee, and wood—to meet new due diligence requirements. These regulations require exporters to prove that their products do not contribute to deforestation, environmental harm, or human rights abuses in their supply chains.This decision follows lobbying efforts from various nations and industry groups, especially those in cocoa and coffee production. Many producers and exporters in Africa, Latin America, and Southeast Asia had raised concerns about the feasibility of compliance within the original timeframe, citing the challenges in establishing traceability systems and infrastructure. The extended deadline […]
