Carbon Markets Africa Summit (CMAS) is the leading platform dedicated to catalysing high-integrity carbon markets across Africa. By connecting supply and demand, the summit brings together project developers, policymakers, investors, and standards bodies to build a credible, investable carbon pipeline grounded in African readiness.

The award-winning VUKA Group has officially launched the Carbon Markets Africa Summit (CMAS), a purpose-driven, high-level continental gathering that will take place from 21 to 23 October 2025 in Johannesburg. Designed as Africa’s flagship platform for carbon finance, CMAS brings together policymakers, investors, standards bodies, developers and corporates to drive practical, inclusive climate action and unlock Africa’s carbon value at scale.

Carbon markets are quickly becoming one of Africa’s most promising opportunities for climate finance and sustainable development. Yet the complexity of validation, verification, regulation and monetisation continues to challenge project developers, financiers and governments alike. 

The timing of CMAS is particularly significant. With growing global momentum around carbon pricing and the operationalisation of Article 6, the outcomes of the upcoming G20 Leaders’ Summit in November are expected to influence the future architecture of global carbon markets.

The summit offers a unique opportunity to drive climate ambition, unlock finance, and scale carbon initiatives that deliver real, measurable impact for people and the planet.

Key features:

Carbon project showcases 

Deep dives on policy, pricing, and integrity standards

Investment and innovation roundtables

Networking with key players across the carbon value chain

Join us to shape Africa’s carbon future—rooted in integrity, inclusion, and investment.
