CARBON trading professionals are divided over whether SA should design its own carbon emissions trading scheme to suit the African market, as suggested by advisory firm Deloitte. Africa's uptake of carbon reduction projects has been slow compared to other developing regions. More than 2000 carbon offset projects worldwide are registered under the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM), administered by the United Nations, but only 44 projects are in Africa, with 17 of these in SA. Peter Oldacre, Deloitte's sustainability and climate change manager, said this put off smaller players. "It is a financial derivative created by more developed nations in the West and as Africans we've been limited in responding ... to their design."

01 July 2010 - IDN InDepthNews I "Climate change is at the front of political leaders' minds, on the agendas of corporate boardrooms, and reflected in the hopes and fears of billions of people around the world.
