flag UAE-linked Blue Carbon's African forest deals stalled, sparking greenwashing concerns.

flag In 2023, UAE-based Blue Carbon, linked to Dubai’s royal family, signed high-profile carbon credit deals across Africa to protect millions of hectares of forest, promising revenue for governments and communities. flag However, over two years later, most agreements—especially in Liberia, Tanzania, and Nigeria—have stalled with no implementation, officials confirm. flag The company has become silent, and investigations reveal lack of transparency, inadequate community consultation, and concerns over land rights. flag Critics say the projects, promoted ahead of COP28, were more about greenwashing than real climate action, raising doubts about the credibility of large-scale carbon offset schemes in Africa.
