Jaya Karbon Kounsel
Driving climate action and sustainability for impact across Africa.
About Us
While Africa contributes the least to climate change, it bears the greatest burden of its effects, creating an urgent need for climate adaptation. At the same time, climate risks are one among many ESG issues that investors consider when assessing the non-financial performance of companies.
At Jaya Karbon Kounsel, we operate as a Living Lab for climate action in Africa, bringing together communities, researchers, and policymakers to co-create, test, and refine practical solutions for climate mitigation and adaptation.
Our work is anchored in four pillars.
