# Minister of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment, Dion George, says government is set to introduce a new framework to guide and expand high-integrity carbon markets in South Africa. The objectives of the Draft Carbon Credit Revenue Plan include generating sustainable revenue by converting the country’s forests, wetlands, oceans, and protected landscapes into high-integrity carbon credits and reinforcing the country’s leadership in climate innovation. George says the draft framework is designed to create an enabling environment for credible, transparent, and socially inclusive carbon market activity.
