ZIMBABWE-CLIMATE-INVESTMENTS

Zimbabwe local environmentalist at Carbon Green Africa Shadreck Ndlovu, holds seedlings harvested off an indigenous tree for nurturing in a nursery on June 10, 2023 in Binga, Zimbabwe. The Kariba REDD+ project, one of the largest of its kind covering 785,000 hectares of forest, is a partnership between Carbon Green Investments, a Zimbabwean firm, and South Pole, a Switzerland-based leading carbon offsets developer. The conservancy is part of a large project that makes money selling carbon credits -- a financial tool aimed at tackling climate change -- but its model has been upended by a shock government announcement that it will claim half of all revenues.
