Programme objectives
CASCADe primarily aims at enhancing expertise to generate African carbon credits in Land Use, Land-Use Change and Forestry (LULUCF) as well as bioenergy activities. The programme will provide institutional support, training workshops, and both regional and international knowledge transfer.
Pilot projects and case studies in asset classes such as plantation forestry, agro forestry, and bio fuels will open up opportunities for African participation in the CDM and the voluntary carbon markets. In addition, the project will facilitate the establishment of a stakeholder network for technical cooperation and linkages between carbon buyers and sellers. The programme’s findings will also serve to contribute to the policy debate towards a post-2012 climate regime, casting light on key issues such as eligibility of avoided deforestation and land degradation projects in CDM-type initiatives.
