As the race to reduce carbon in the atmosphere heats up, more companies and organizations are looking to harness Nature-based carbon offsets through nature-based solutions (NBS). For NBS to effectively achieve its targets with additional benefits through conservation, protection of biodiversity, and economic and social opportunities for adjacent communities, there is a need for a clear understanding of how the market works. This is especially so considering voluntary carbon markets’ fluid nature or current structure and the evolving integrity initiatives and issues. Trust and integrity are everything for the VCM to function as a source of much-needed finance. On the supply side, carbon credits must be of the highest quality. On the demand side, ‘greenwashing’ must be avoided, ensuring those credits cut actual corporate emissions.
In this highly interactive program, Natural Eco Capital and Maycroft, based in the Netherlands, will take you through the current and future state of the VCM and the best practices for corporates to engage in this market to meet their sustainability targets.
