Djibouti: Djibouti, located in the Horn of Africa, is leading initiatives that may develop into a continent-wide carbon tax system. This small but strategically important country has discreetly implemented a carbon pricing scheme that other African nations are now looking to adopt. Gabon and Guinea have already followed suit, and reports indicate that around twelve additional countries are interested, as per the African Sovereign Carbon Registry (ASC), which is overseeing the initiative.

  • Lord, we pray Djibouti’s leadership in implementing a carbon pricing scheme will inspire other African nations to adopt sustainable practices, ultimately leading to significant improvements in environmental health and climate change mitigation across the continent (The Holy Bible, Psalm 24:1-2).
  • Lord, we pray for unity and collaboration among African nations as they explore and adopt carbon pricing systems to address climate change collectively, fostering a spirit of cooperation that can lead to effective environmental policies (The Holy Bible, Psalm 133:1).
