How To Investigate the Carbon Market in Africa

The Pulitzer Center is hosting a webinar for journalists interested in uncovering the realities of Africa’s carbon market.

As the race to achieve net-zero emissions intensifies, carbon markets have surged into the spotlight—and Africa has become a key arena for offset projects. But how much of the promised climate benefit truly reaches the continent? Who profits, and who pays the price?

Despite the billions in green investments pouring into Africa, the carbon market remains opaque: from verification loopholes to the questionable impact on local communities. Investigative journalists play a vital role in exposing these gaps, holding stakeholders accountable, and centering the voices of those most affected.

In this session, you'll gain exclusive insights, story leads, and practical tips from experts working at the intersection of climate, finance, and journalism. Our speakers include:

• Élodie Toto: 2024 Rainforest Investigations Network Fellow, journalist at Mongabay
• Desné Masie: Economist and journalist 
• Josh Gabbatiss: Climate and energy correspondent at Carbon Brief

Don’t miss this opportunity to deepen your reporting on one of the most urgent and underreported dimensions of climate finance in Africa.
