The Promoting Access to Carbon Equity (PACE) Centre is a South African based not-for-profit organisation. PACE is focused on applying relevant local experiences to ensure that the carbon offset market is used as an effective tool to fight poverty. PACE therefore pays specific attention to the development of high quality Voluntary Carbon Trading and Clean Development Mechanism projects in the Southern Africa Region.
PACE operates a “Credible CarbonTM ” facility which ensures that CDM and voluntary carbon offset projects in Southern Africa:
- adhere to the principles of the “Gold Standard”, thereby ensuring a verifiable contribution to greenhouse gas mitigation
- produce a locally relevant development impact
- provide investors with a favourable project development environment
- deliver quantifiable poverty alleviation benefits
A key aim for PACE is to build local capacity within Southern Africa to ensure that the agenda for development from carbon income is driven by local needs rather than solely by the interests of international carbon buyers. To achieve this aim, PACE brings:
- on the ground experience and ability to ensure that CDM and carbon off-set projects are locally relevant
- knowledge of local stakeholders and a working relationship with the South African DNA
- ability to link carbon offset and CDM projects with local economic development and poverty alleviation
- close contact to players in the relevant international carbon markets
