Adamas Carbon Showcases Africa’s Sustainable Agriculture and Environmental Innovations at Artemeter Conference During Climate Week NYC

New York, NY – September 2024 – During Climate Week NYC 2024, the Artemeter Conference brought together global leaders in environmental markets, sustainable finance, and green innovation. Among the standout speakers was Ezana Bocresion of Adamas Carbon, who delivered a compelling address on the transformative potential of agriculture and environmental projects across Africa—spotlighting the essential role of private investment in scaling these solutions.

Speaking to an audience of policymakers, investors, climate practitioners, and corporate sustainability executives, Mr. Bocresion underscored how Africa’s agricultural sector—when paired with regenerative environmental practices—can deliver scalable climate solutions while driving economic growth. He highlighted that the continent’s vast arable land, biodiversity, and rapidly growing green-tech capacity position it as a key player in the global low-carbon transition.

Scaling Impact Through Finance, Innovation, and Private Equity

Mr. Bocresion emphasized that unlocking Africa’s potential requires robust, innovative financing models, with private equity playing a pivotal role in bridging the funding gap between pilot projects and large-scale deployment.

“Private equity firms bring more than capital—they contribute strategic oversight, operational expertise, and global market access, enabling African climate and agriculture ventures to achieve commercial viability and measurable climate impact. Agriculture and environmental restoration in Africa can be profitable, climate-positive, and socially transformative,” Ezana stated. “Private equity can accelerate this by taking calculated risks, building long-term value, and ensuring that climate projects are structured for both environmental credibility and investor returns.”
