Keshinee Shah is an independent strategic advisor working at the intersection of carbon market governance, compliance finance, and climate policy across Africa. With a track record spanning country-level advisory work, continental governance architecture, and an integrated understanding of both the supply-side systems that determine market access and the demand-side dynamics reshaping where value concentrates, she focuses on ensuring African governments are positioned as rule-makers – not rule-takers – in the global carbon markets being shaped today. Until recently she served as Director at the Climate Action Platform Africa.
