The FCPF Carbon Fund’s 29th meeting (CF29) took place last week in Côte d'Ivoire.
The first three days of CF29 were held in the country’s capital Abidjan, where participants heard updates on overall fund progress, as well as the advancement of benefit-sharing plans, the FCPF Standard, and monetization of excess emission reductions credits, among other topics. Opening remarks were given by Côte d'Ivoire's Minister of Environment Konan Jacques Assahore, and the World Bank's Country Director Marie-Chantal Uwanyiligira.
Participants also engaged in deep-dive learning sessions on emission reductions verification and benefit-sharing plan implementation, focusing on lessons learned and the sharing of knowledge and good practices among Carbon Fund countries.
During the final two days of the meeting, participants visited the Taï National Park, the Rapides Grah classified forest, and learned from the agroforestry plots of beneficiaries of Côte d'Ivoire’s emission reductions program with the Carbon Fund.
