An Emancipation Proclamation for Control of Carbon Projects Certification by Africans themselves
If you have **sincere** interest in participating in the founding of an independent Carbon-Project Accreditation agency in Africa to break the oligopoly of Europeans & Americans who think they are the only carbon experts in the world, then do contact my friends in Ethiopia organizing this effort first proposed by me 2 - 3 years ago:

So why is the VER (voluntary emission reduction) European carbon-credit market hostage to a few elitist and oligopolist carbon-project review agencies in Europe & America ? Who knows and who cares ?
Africans already have the "capacity" to evaluate and certify their own carbon-offset projects.
It's past-due time for an African "Carbon Spring".
The death this year of the Kyoto Protocol is our / your chance to give Life to a New African-controlled Carbon-credit Certification Mechanism.
NOTA BENE: History will only remember those who smashed carbon pumpkins and stirred up the carbon mud.
Globally & warmly yours,
David Palella
