The three-day meeting, held at the Sir Dawda Kairaba Jawara Conference Center, brought together 16 West African member countries to discuss carbon market preparedness and strengthen national institutional capacities for the execution of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) requirements.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The meeting aimed to launch The Gambia\u2019s national readiness platform, fostering engagement between development partners and positioning West Africa as a credible actor in international carbon cooperation. The theme, \u201cAccelerating Operationalisation of Carbon Markets in West Africa,\u201d emphasised the need for swift and strategic action to establish robust policy frameworks, reliable technical tools, and strong national expertise to capitalise on historical opportunities in carbon markets.<\/p>\n<p>Ousman Sarr, Coordinator of the WAA, stressed the importance of avoiding traps and easy promises, protecting national interests, and raising pressure for rushed decisions. \u201cWe must protect our national interests because of the initial protection of these technical outputs,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Jonathan Dosseh, Climate Finance Officer of the Africa Development Bank, encouraged member countries to highlight challenges and achievements to scale up climate action. \u201cCarbon market, NDC finance framework, country platform&#8230; these are not technical for street purposes from the outside, there are two that must be shaped, piloted, and driven by the national government with their own priorities and realities at the center,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Hon. Rohey John Manjang, Minister of Environment, Climate Change, and Natural Resources, emphasised the need for environmental integrity, saying, \u201cTrading of credit is essential to safeguard mitigation ambitions and prevent exploitation.\u201d She added, \u201cCarbon market and climate finance revenues are no longer optional; they are essential instruments for achieving climate justice and economic transformation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The meeting provided stakeholders with detailed information on authorisation procedures, registry systems, and reporting obligations to the United Nations Convention on Climate Change. The Gambia\u2019s national readiness platform launch marks a strategic milestone as West African nations move from readiness to operationalisation in the global carbon market.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Gambia<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Gambia.
