On Tuesday 18th February, we hosted a webinar that explored key themes from our recent report "A new blueprint: How governments can design carbon credit markets for impact at scale".
Investing in carbon projects is essential to tackling climate change. Carbon markets provide a mechanism for scaling investment and climate impact, but a lack of risk-based thinking has undermined confidence and held back growth.
Sebastien Cross, Chief Innovation Officer & Co-founder at BeZero was joined by Natalia Dorfman, CEO and Co-founder at Kita, Lucy Palairet, Director Carbon Markets Development at Standard Chartered Bank and Rueban Manokara, Global Lead Carbon Finance and Markets Taskforce at WWF and Member of the CORSIA Technical Advisory Body (TAB) to discuss building risk into the design of carbon markets to make them scalable and sustainable.
The panel addressed the following questions:
Is the way carbon markets are currently designed holding back growth?
What actions can governments take to address these market design flaws?
Is risk being managed appropriately in carbon markets?
How can we build more mature markets where risk is fully understood and can be effectively managed?
