As a partner of the Carbon Markets Africa Summit 2025 (CMAS) 2025, SACEEC is proud to share an important development ahead of this year’s event: One Carbon World (OCW) has been confirmed as the official Climate Impact Partner.
Why This Partnership Matters
The Carbon Markets Africa Summit, taking place from 22–23 October 2025 in Johannesburg, is one of the continent’s leading platforms for advancing discussions on carbon markets, climate finance, and sustainable growth. Bringing in OCW as Climate Impact Partner signals a stronger focus on integrity, accountability, and measurable outcomes in Africa’s climate action journey.
What OCW Will Do
In this role, One Carbon World will:
- Measure and report on the Summit’s carbon footprint.
- Support the implementation of high-integrity monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) systems.
- Promote the use of nature-based solutions and high-quality carbon credits to drive positive environmental and social impact.
This ensures the Summit does more than provide a platform for discussion, it will actively model best practices in sustainable event management and transparent climate impact reporting.
A Signal of Africa’s Growing Role
For Africa, the announcement is especially significant. Carbon markets present opportunities not only for climate action but also for economic growth, job creation, and investment in communities. By strengthening partnerships with organisations like OCW, CMAS demonstrates a commitment to scaling high-integrity solutions that can benefit both people and the planet.
SACEEC's Perspective
As a partner of CMAS, SACEEC values the role that initiatives like this play in creating real, measurable pathways for Africa’s industries to participate in global sustainability conversations. This development highlights how collaboration between business, government, and civil society can accelerate Africa’s position in the global carbon economy.
We commend CMAS for this forward-looking partnership and look forward to engaging with members, partners, and industry leaders at the Summit in October.
