Members of the FCN SA
The Fair Climate Network Southern Africa (FCN SA) brings together all types of organisations that are necessary for a successful pro-poor fair climate project that uses carbon revenues. These include:
- Grassroots organisations
- Carbon project implementers, such as NGOs and consultancies
- Climate and carbon specialists
- International NGOs
- Financial institutions and carbon credit buyers, such as banks and funds
- Knowledge institutions, such as universities and R&D organisations
- Bodies with strong roots in communities, such as church organisations
- Technical institutions
Geographical focus
FCN SA members predominantly come from countries in Southern Africa. However, climate and carbon expertise and best practices, as well as project funders and carbon credit buyers, are often found outside Southern Africa. Hence the FCN SA has members from other African countries and from countries outside Africa as well, mainly from Europe and Asia.
