Mozambique has issued four licenses for carbon reduction projects as part of its national climate action strategy. Jadwiga Massinga, the National Director of Climate Change, announced the approvals for initiatives located in the provinces of Gaza, Inhambane, Manica, and Zambézia. These projects focus on combating deforestation, enhancing community incomes, and protecting vital mangrove forests.
The government is currently holding a public consultation on a new carbon market regulation. This framework would establish licensing procedures and enable the country to export carbon credits to companies or other nations. Massinga also highlighted the importance of adopting electric vehicles and promoting improved cookstoves as key measures for lowering national carbon dioxide emissions.
Helena Macuni, Executive Director of the Renewable Energy Association, reaffirmed her organization's commitment to supporting the government's goal of universal energy access. She emphasized the necessity of stronger institutional coordination and private sector involvement to position Mozambique as a significant participant in regional and international carbon markets.
