Abstract:At the heart of the discourse on the green economy is the subject of climate change and the need for a transition to low-carbon-driven economies. This collective volume focuses on aspects that relate to the risks and opportunities presented by the green economy and climate mitigation in Africa. Topics discussed include the green economy and sustainable development, financing the green economy, carbon benchmarking, the role of multilateral development banks in carbon financing, reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation, and carbon taxation. Contributors: Godwell Nhamo, Johan C. Lötter, Muchaiteyi Togo, Soul Shava, Senia Nhamo, Cecilia J. Van Zyl, Alfred Bimha, and Ashley Mutezo. [ASC Leiden abstract]
