Africa holds extraordinary climate and natural capital, yet too often, its value is unlocked without building local systems, institutions, or ownership. MESA was founded to change this — to ensure African-led climate and nature solutions are credible, finance-ready, and trusted globally, while delivering meaningful benefits to communities on the ground. Our work is grounded in integrity, collaboration, and a clear belief that Africa should not only participate in global climate markets -it should help shape and lead them.
