The conference brief
Past editionCarbon Markets Africa Summit (CMAS) 2026
A Kigali summit pairing African carbon-market policymakers with development capital, built around curated deal rooms and investor roundtables rather than an expo floor. Most of the demand side is development finance rather than corporate offtakers, so it suits developers and Article 6/MRV advisors more than credit sellers chasing retirement volume.

01 / Make the call
Is this the right room?
Emitree's assessment of audience fit. Conference access does not establish buying intent or guarantee meetings.
Consider it if
You're an African-asset developer near issuance and apply early for a Deal Room slot, need capital or Article 6 authorization rather than offtake, or sell MRV or policy advisory to African governments and DFI programs.
Consider another event if
You need North American or European corporate offtake demand, your project is outside Africa, or you'd attend without applying to the curated tracks; the general badge does not open them.
02 / Understand the audience
Who attends
Supply-heavy, about 10% demand side by the organizer's own targets (50+ investors, buyers, and financiers of 500+). Demand is mostly capital (AfDB, UNDP, DBSA, FSD Africa, funds) rather than corporate offtake; GenZero's CEO is the clearest large-cheque buyer on the roster. Senior African policy density is unmatched: ministers, REMA, Kenya's climate envoy, DG CLIMA, IETA, and Verra.
How large is the event?
The organizer’s 2026 recap reports more than 600 delegates, 345 organizations and government institutions, and 20 carbon projects presented. These are organizer-reported results.
