阿联酋与阿联酋有关的蓝碳非洲森林交易陷入僵局,引发了对绿化的关切。 UAE-linked Blue Carbon's African forest deals stalled, sparking greenwashing concerns.

2023年,与迪拜皇室家族有联系的阿联酋蓝碳公司在非洲各地签署了高调的碳信用交易,以保护数百万公顷的森林,给政府和社区带来有希望的收入。 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. 然而,在两年多之后,大多数协定——特别是在利比里亚、坦桑尼亚和尼日利亚——没有执行而停滞不前,官员证实。 However, over two years later, most agreements—especially in Liberia, Tanzania, and Nigeria—have stalled with no implementation, officials confirm. 公司变得沉默,调查显示缺乏透明度、社区协商不足以及对土地权的关切。 The company has become silent, and investigations reveal lack of transparency, inadequate community consultation, and concerns over land rights. 批评者说,在COP28之前推广的项目更多地涉及洗绿,而不是真正的气候行动,使人们怀疑非洲大规模碳抵消计划的信誉。 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.
