Jan. 28, 2026 /Mpelembe Media/ — Norway and Zambia have recently entered into a formal agreement to exchange carbon credits under the framework of the Paris Agreement. This bilateral deal allows Norway to purchase offsets generated by the expansion of renewable energy projects within the African nation. The initiative specifically targets the enhancement of Zambia’s electrical grid to compensate for a decline in traditional hydroelectric power sources. By supporting these sustainable energy transitions, the partnership aims to achieve measurable emission reductions while addressing local energy security. Ultimately, this collaboration represents a strategic use of Article 6 to foster international cooperation on global climate goals. Continue reading →
