A high-level African forum aimed at unpacking business opportunities arising from a voluntary carbon market is expected to be held in Victoria Falls - a designated international financial services hub - early next month. The Credit Markets Forum will take place under the theme "Accelerating Africa to a Climate Economy". It is organized by the local company Africa Voluntary Carbon Credits Market (AVCCM). Voluntary carbon credits are not regulated by governments or international agencies, but are purchased voluntarily by individuals or businesses seeking to offset their emissions. (Martin Kadzere)
