From Field Trials to Landscape Scale: Building Angola’s Nature-Based Carbon Project Pipeline in Practice

​Angola has substantial potential to restore degraded landscapes, strengthen rural agriculture and generate high-integrity carbon outcomes. This session shows what it takes to turn that potential into projects on the ground.

​Drawing on its work in Malanje, KAYA Climate Solutions traces the path from field research and community engagement to project design, finance, implementation and long-term monitoring. The pipeline includes agroforestry on up to 25,000 hectares with 111 participating cooperatives, native-species reforestation on up to 50,000 hectares, and community-based fire management across more than 200,000 hectares, supported by a research and training centre with a nursery producing around 100,000 seedlings a year.

​Government, technical and policy perspectives then place this work within Angola’s development priorities and the requirements of credible certification, followed by an open discussion on partnership routes for buyers, investors and development partners.

​Speakers include

• ​Ivone Antónia de Sousa Pascoal Sumbo, National Director for Climate Action and Sustainable Development, Ministry of Environment, Angola

• ​Charlotte Streck, Managing Partner, Climate Focus

• ​Chris Stephenson, Policy & Market Specialist, KAYA Climate Solutions

​For government delegations, carbon buyers, impact and climate investors, development finance institutions, standards, technical partners and anyone considering collaboration in Angola.

​Hosted by the Government of Angola, with KAYA Climate Solutions as lead partner, at the Angola Pavilion.
