Earlier this month CYNK, Africa's first emissions reduction platform handled a carbon futures trade of over 2 million credits from Tamuwa’s renewable project at the Africa Climate Summit.

Nils Razmilovic, CEO at Tamuwa said, “Tamuwa is a powerful use case of what is possible when transparency and quality is built into each step of the carbon credit value chain. We have witnessed the benefits of a huge level of control in data collection and an immutable audit trail.”

He added, “Our landmark trade illustrates the value of carbon credits as an asset class for the Global South which can create climate action and benefits for local communities.”

“Through establishing and clarifying the value of high-quality carbon credits in Africa and tracking the impact on the ground through a clear and transparent platform connecting projects to climate markets, CYNK has established the power and potential of carbon trading built for the Global South."
