When will an "African Carbon Spring" erupt to break the dominance of the White Man in the African carbon-offsets market ?


---

Who will be the Martin Luther King of the African carbon-projects standards-setting and auditing industries ?


Here I re-post my seminal and still-resonate post and tweets from 18 - 25 months ago:

"When will Africa establish its own carbon-projects Standards-Setting Organization and break the dominance of the Carbon White Man?"

24 May 2010

"A good name for it ? -- the Uhuru Green Standards Foundation!"

"Uhuru" can mean "freedom from dependence on white men" -- Bravo!


"I tweeted about this topic back in November 2009, and some web site indexed my ideas and preferred name for this proposed non-profit organization without attribution (see down at the bottom here). So to set the record straight, just below here I re-post my tweets from November 2009 about the Uhuru Green Standards Foundation.

"Ideally some university in Africa will establish an independent non-profit institute or entity on their campus to write carbon-project standards custom tailored for African offset projects.

"All non-profit and for-profit carbon-project standards-setting organizations in the U.S., Europe and Australia are just self-appointed self-anointed "experts" with no legal authorization for their existence. They merely said: "Hey ! -- we're experts, and we make the rules!" -- and everyone kisses their carbon-fiber rings.

"But why ? Can only whities write carbon standards ? Patently no. Africans have the capacity now to write world-class carbon-project standards. They're experts too."
