Carbon markets have generated much enthusiasm by developing countries, including least developed countries (LDCs) as a means to raise development finance. 

However, The Least Developed Countries Report 2024: Leveraging carbon markets for development provides a realistic estimate of their potential and highlights challenges that participation in these markets may bring. 

The event will consist of information sharing on the report and policy dialogue between UNCTAD and Gambian policymakers. 

This will provide inputs to the country’s possible positioning vis-à-vis these markets.

The event will be held online, and participation is by invitation only.
