………………………
Blue Carbon UAE based entity and the Government of Tanzania through Tanzanian Forest Services Agency (TFS) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding marking the start of a collaboration aimed at promoting sustainable forest management practices and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Speaking after the signing ceremony, Minister of State in the Vice President’s Office (Union and Environment) Dr. Selemani Jafo has said that carbon trading will help bring many opportunities in this country and help preserve the environment.
He said this immediately after the signing ceremony of the agreement document between TFS and the Blue Carbon Company from Dubai under the chairmaship of King Sheikh Ahmed Dalmook Al Maktoum.
Dr. Jafo has said this is the first time for such an agreement after the Vice President’s Office in collaboration with various stakeholders completed the preparation of guidelines for the carbon trade in October 2022.
He said that the signing of the agreement will open the doors for citizens to plant trees in abundance and take care of the environment so that they can enter the business.
“It is our belief that we will now rely on having many opportunities as well as restoring the damaged environment and we see that even mangroves are also entering the carbon market, so TFS will now have a wide field to ensure that our forests are protected,” he said.
Speaking during the signing ceremony of the agreement, the King Al Maktoum who accompanied his dellegation said the partnership will focus on supporting the government’s efforts to conserve, manage and register its forest resources of 8 million hectares in first phase 1 including 56,000 hectares of mangroves and sell these credits under Article 6 of the the Paris Agreement.
This will strengthen the partnership between the two countries, in developing new carbon offset projects to support decarbonization targets.
Commenting on the visit, Sheikh Ahmed Dalmook Al Maktoum, the Founder and the Chairman of Blue Carbon said, “We are honored to sign this MoU with the Government of Tanzania. This collaboration represents an important step towards promoting sustainable forest management practices and fighting the climate change.”
On his part, Minister of Natural Resources and Tourism Ambassador Dr. Pindi Chana has called on the people to ensure that they plant mit in abundance especially during this rainy season so that it can grow and enter the carbon business.
She said that our country has been blessed with an area of approximately 48.1 million hectares with forests that have been very beneficial to its citizens in their daily lives.
“If we take care of our forests, we will get many benefits because we see that water sources depend on forests, many sectors depend on trees such as agriculture, health, construction, sanitation, so it is important to protect and preserve forests,” she emphasized.
And the Conservation Commissioner for TFS Prof. Dos Santos Silayo has said that the time has come for developed countries to contribute to countries that continue to reduce greenhouse gases.
He said that the signing of the agreement with Blue Carbon is the beginning of the implementation of these activities where the company will start the registration process to comply with the instructions.
Prof. Silayo has given inspiration to developing countries to prioritize the preservation of forests in order to lay the foundation for areas that can focus on carbon trading, which has become an alternative to economic activities at the moment.
