Abstract: This playbook is a guide for mobilizing climate capital for nature-based carbon projects in Africa. It categorizes project models into three types: avoided emissions, carbon removal, and product distribution. It details financing tools and market access strategies, including benefit-sharing agreements with IPLCs. A Mozambique case study illustrates regulatory frameworks, Article 6 implications, and market readiness. The report also emphasizes risk mitigation via insurance and blended finance tools. It offers structured insight to support carbon market scalability across Africa.
