津巴布韦推出区块链注册表以恢复碳市场信托

这项行动是在津巴布韦在2023年对碳信贷的快速政策转变带来的不确定性之后。

Zimbabwe has unveiled a new blockchain system to integrate and bring transparency to its carbon credit market.

津巴布韦揭开了一种新的区块链系统，以将其透明度整合到其碳信贷市场。

According to Bloomberg, the Southeast African nation is aiming to create a trusted nationwide platform where approved developers can conduct safe and transparent carbon credit exchanges.

根据彭博社的说法，东南非洲国家的目标是建立一个受信任的全国平台，在该平台上，经过批准的开发商可以进行安全透明的碳信用交易所。

This action follows the uncertainties brought on by Zimbabwe’s quick policy shifts regarding carbon credits in 2023. At that time, the government canceled numerous active initiatives, insisted on a 50% share of revenue, and requested that all developers re-register.

这项行动是在津巴布韦在2023年对碳信贷的快速政策转变带来的不确定性之后。当时，政府取消了许多积极的计划，坚持使用50％的收入，并要求所有开发商重新注册。

Therefore, international developers, with the well-known Kariba REDD+ Project among them, experienced considerable challenges completing their work.

因此，国际开发商包括著名的Kariba Redd+项目，他们面临着巨大的挑战。

As a result, Zimbabwe faced diminished trust from large numbers of investors and project partners. The unanticipated changes cast doubt on the country’s reliability and increased worries about equal and dependable business practices. For this reason, the government has begun initiatives to restore its image and encourage investment by focusing on strengthening the transparent management of carbon credit processes.

结果，津巴布韦面临的众多投资者和项目合作伙伴的信任降低了。意外的变化使该国的可靠性以及对平等和可靠的商业实践的担忧增加了怀疑。因此，政府已开始通过专注于加强碳信用流程的透明管理来恢复其形象并鼓励投资的倡议。

In order to bolster these goals, Zimbabwe created the Carbon Market Management Authority (ZCMA) last week. The new entity will manage the approval of carbon offset projects and make certain they comply with all regulations. Before carrying out any carbon credit projects, developers must register their compliance applications through zicma.org.zw.

为了增强这些目标，津巴布韦上周创建了碳市场管理局（ZCMA）。新实体将管理碳偏移项目的批准，并确保它们符合所有法规。在进行任何碳信用项目之前，开发人员必须通过zicma.org.zw注册其合规申请。

Last year, RippleNami, a California-based data company, reported that Zimbabwe is a key player in the carbon market in Africa. Being the third-largest contributor on the continent, Zimbabwe supplies 12.5% of Africa’s total carbon credits, according to the company’s analysis. This finding suggests that Zimbabwe could take a leadership position in environmental and carbon offset efforts, provided it keeps investor confidence high and maximizes the new carbon registry’s potential.

去年，总部位于加利福尼亚的数据公司Ripplenami报告说，津巴布韦是非洲碳市场的关键参与者。根据该公司的分析，津巴布韦是整个非洲大陆的第三大贡献者，占非洲总碳信用额的12.5％。这一发现表明，津巴布韦可以在环境和碳抵消量的工作中发挥领导地位，只要它可以使投资者保持较高的信心并最大程度地发挥新的碳注册中心的潜力。

However, with the government’s abrupt policy changes in 2023, several foreign developers encountered difficulties completing their projects. Among them is the Kariba REDD+ Project, a large-scale initiative that has been actively pursued by international partners since 2010.

但是，随着2023年政府的突然政策变化，一些外国开发商遇到了完成项目的困难。其中包括Kariba Redd+项目，这是一项自2010年以来国际合作伙伴积极追求的大规模倡议。

Despite the new administration's good intentions, quickly switching to a 50% revenue share and demanding re-registration from all developers in the middle of projects had a significant impact. As a result, large-scale investors and project partners, who are crucial for launching new climate projects, have become hesitant to continue their involvement.

尽管新政府的良好意图，但在项目中间，所有开发商都迅速转向了50％的收入份额，并要求重新注册。结果，对于启动新的气候项目至关重要的大型投资者和项目合作伙伴已经犹豫要继续参与。

This step is part of broader efforts by African countries to use blockchain technology for climate finance and carbon trading.

此步骤是非洲国家使用区块链技术进行气候融资和碳交易的更广泛努力的一部分。
