The initiative

How was the initiative born?

The Fair Environmental Markets Initiative aims for the emergence of a scheme of Fairness and Transparency that encourages active engagement of local communities, environmental integrity and equitable distribution of benefits of carbon projects.

It is a strategic partnership forged between regions, governments, private sector, organizations (NGO/IGO) mostly from West Africa and Latin America, strengthened as the trustees of the planet’s major remnants of primary forests and biodiversity, these regions have the opportunity to position themselves as environmental creditors and pioneer a holistic approach towards carbon markets.

❝ Major international consulting firms and multilateral banks estimate that half of the global GDP depends on nature. I ask them, what does the other half depend on? It’s unimaginable that in the 21st century we still don’t understand that all human activity, directly or indirectly, relies on some service provided by nature. ❞
