This offset allowance provided a shot in the arm for South African carbon market which had gone almost dormant since the collapse of the global carbon market in 2008. In response to this upswing in demand for carbon credits from CDM, VCS and GS approved projects the Southern African Carbon Market Industry Association (SACMA) was established.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"clearboth\"><\/div><style>#thegem-divider-6a007c62c5bf2 {margin-top: 30px !important;}<\/style><div id=\"thegem-divider-6a007c62c5bf2\" class=\"gem-divider  \" style=\"\" ><\/div>[vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;]<style type=\"text\/css\">.thegem-button-6a007c62c5c6f9149 .gem-button {font-size: 18px;}.thegem-button-6a007c62c5c6f9149 .gem-button {text-transform: uppercase;}<\/style><div class=\"gem-button-container gem-button-position-fullwidth thegem-button-6a007c62c5c6f9149    \"  ><a class=\"gem-button gem-button-size-medium gem-button-style-flat gem-button-text-weight-thin\" data-ll-effect=\"drop-right-without-wrap\" style=\"border-radius: 30px;background-color: #6bbd69;\" onmouseleave=\"this.style.backgroundColor='#6bbd69';\" onmouseenter=\"this.style.backgroundColor='#4d8950';\" href=\"#Advocacy\" target=\"_self\">Advocacy<\/a><\/div> [\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;]<style type=\"text\/css\">.thegem-button-6a007c62c5ccd7094 .gem-button {font-size: 18px;}.thegem-button-6a007c62c5ccd7094 .gem-button {text-transform: uppercase;}<\/style><div class=\"gem-button-container gem-button-position-fullwidth thegem-button-6a007c62c5ccd7094    \"  ><a class=\"gem-button gem-button-size-medium gem-button-style-flat gem-button-text-weight-thin\" data-ll-effect=\"drop-right-without-wrap\" style=\"border-radius: 30px;background-color: #6bbd69;\" onmouseleave=\"this.style.backgroundColor='#6bbd69';\" onmouseenter=\"this.style.backgroundColor='#4d8950';\" href=\"#Governance\" target=\"_self\">Governance<\/a><\/div> [\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;]<style type=\"text\/css\">.thegem-button-6a007c62c5d1d4155 .gem-button {font-size: 18px;}.thegem-button-6a007c62c5d1d4155 .gem-button {text-transform: uppercase;}<\/style><div class=\"gem-button-container gem-button-position-fullwidth thegem-button-6a007c62c5d1d4155    \"  ><a class=\"gem-button gem-button-size-medium gem-button-style-flat gem-button-text-weight-thin\" data-ll-effect=\"drop-right-without-wrap\" style=\"border-radius: 30px;background-color: #6bbd69;\" onmouseleave=\"this.style.backgroundColor='#6bbd69';\" onmouseenter=\"this.style.backgroundColor='#4d8950';\" href=\"#Outreach\" target=\"_self\">Outreach<\/a><\/div> [\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;]<style type=\"text\/css\">.thegem-button-6a007c62c5d67149 .gem-button {font-size: 18px;}.thegem-button-6a007c62c5d67149 .gem-button {text-transform: uppercase;}<\/style><div class=\"gem-button-container gem-button-position-fullwidth thegem-button-6a007c62c5d67149    \"  ><a class=\"gem-button gem-button-size-medium gem-button-style-flat gem-button-text-weight-thin\" data-ll-effect=\"drop-right-without-wrap\" style=\"border-radius: 30px;background-color: #6bbd69;\" onmouseleave=\"this.style.backgroundColor='#6bbd69';\" onmouseenter=\"this.style.backgroundColor='#4d8950';\" href=\"#Capacity\" target=\"_self\">Capacity Building<\/a><\/div> [\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column offset=&#8221;vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs&#8221;]<div class=\"clearboth\"><\/div><style>#thegem-divider-6a007c62c5d95 {margin-top: 70px !important;}<\/style><div id=\"thegem-divider-6a007c62c5d95\" class=\"gem-divider  \" style=\"\" ><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column offset=&#8221;vc_hidden-lg vc_hidden-md&#8221;]<div class=\"clearboth\"><\/div><style>#thegem-divider-6a007c62c5db5 {margin-top: 70px !important;}<\/style><div id=\"thegem-divider-6a007c62c5db5\" class=\"gem-divider  \" style=\"\" ><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1542290317933{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column]<div id=\"fullwidth-block-6a007c62c5dce\" class=\"fullwidth-block clearfix\"  style=\"background-color: #eef3f1;\"><script type=\"text\/javascript\">if (typeof(gem_fix_fullwidth_position) == \"function\") { gem_fix_fullwidth_position(document.getElementById(\"fullwidth-block-6a007c62c5dce\"));
