Good question. Energy expansion and climate resilience can no longer be treated separately. Integrating a "vulnerability test" into energy projects isn't about slowing down development, it's necessary to de-risk high risk projects.
Thank you for highlighting this information.
A difficult question for African leaders and policymakers is, if climate change is already threatening food security, infrastructure, water systems and livelihoods, should every new energy investment be judged only by how much energy or revenue it produces or also by how much climate vulnerability it creates?
The answer will shape Africa’s development trajectory for decades.
This is a food for thought!

This week we opened up what actually happens after you contact CAL: the process, a real case study, and the readiness-vs-impact question every developer eventually faces.
Next week: what investors actually look for in a carbon project pipeline.
#CarbonAccessLab #CarbonMarkets
A project can have real climate impact and still not be carbon-market ready. Methodology, baseline data, additionality, MRV and carbon rights must be resolved early.
Talk to CAL to close these gaps before they become costly mistakes.

"Climate impact and carbon-market readiness are related, but they are not the same thing.” Mark Mutaahi, Venture Lead, Carbon Access Lab.
Feel free to share some of the details of your project for support, or DM us. [email protected]

Carbon buyers increasingly look beyond the headline emissions claim.
Methodology, additionality, MRV, safeguards, permanence and project rights all affect confidence in a credit.
Buyer confidence starts earlier than most developers think. Comment below.
#CarbonMarkets
What happens when you bring a project to CAL?
We start with the basics: project concept, methodology available data, rights, MRV requirements and key gaps.
The aim is to know what is credible, missing, and what should follow.

For East African developers, feasibility has two dimensions: the carbon standard's requirements and the host country's approval rules. Both affect timelines.
Build regulatory readiness into your project design early. Comment below

"A lot of times, regulators try to protect, as opposed to enable, as a result, it impedes the ability of either the private sector or smaller players."

Mark Mutaahi on major financing constraints affecting Carbon Markets
"We don't have projects that are derisked enough to make it interesting to investors of all types, and @mofpedU
told us that grant capital is drying up, so we have to take ownership of our problems"
#EACMF2026
Kindly listen in, the UN Secretary General has something to say
#ClimateAction
Humanity is speeding towards a climate catastrophe.
That’s the stark warning from the latest @UNEP report.
Every fraction of a degree of warming will cost lives, deepen inequalities & push ecosystems closer to irreversible damage.
We must raise ambition, accelerate #ClimateAction & fight for humanity. NOW.

"If this 10x economy of 500bn dollars that @mofpedU tells us about is real, this industry has the capability to significantly contribute to that, but we're spending more time building infrastructure as opposed to building projects"

Our partnership with @TheQuixoticProject isn't a shared logo. It's joint methodology reviews, policy talks and a shared contact book.
Building a project pipeline? Talk to us about technical collaboration. DM us

One of the most expensive mistakes in carbon development is starting too far downstream. A PDD can't fix unresolved rights, weak data or a bad methodology.
Talk to CAL about pre-feasibility and project structuring. DM us

“Good carbon project development is as much about sequencing decisions as completing documentation.” Mark Mutaahi, Venture Lead, Carbon Access Lab.
Assess readiness before committing development capital.

Our deepest condolences to the @ObukamaBwaTooro, the royal family, and all Ugandans on the passing of His Majesty Omukama Oyo Nyimba Kabamba Iguru IV. We honour his leadership, service and contribution to Uganda’s tourism and cultural heritage.
May his soul rest in peace.
Extreme heat across South America is another reminder that climate change is no longer a distant threat, it is being felt now. We must accelerate emissions reductions, protect natural carbon sinks and invest in resilience. The time for action is now
#ClimateAction #CarbonMarkets
Article 6 is splitting carbon markets built to last from ones that weren't. Integrity rules aren't going away, they're becoming the baseline. Plan around this now, not later.
CAL helps assess methodology fit before development begins

#Article6 #TheQuixoticProject
The opportunity is real, but it needs credible contracts, strong MRV, farmer protection and risk-sharing. Carbon finance could become more than an environmental tool, it could help unlock agricultural finance
#CarbonMarkets #Carbonaccesslab
Can Uganda’s farmers borrow against carbon?
#IAmAnAgripreneur, we explore whether credible, long-term carbon and PES agreements could become part of farmers’ credit assessments, opening new pathways to finance while protecting farmers from risk

A project came to us with a good idea and not much else: no verified methodology, patchy MRV, shaky governance.
Today it's investment-ready. That gap is most of our work.
Exploring a carbon project? Talk to CAL about pre-feasibility. DM us.
