Averting climate catastrophe will require every available tool, including markets. Voluntary carbon markets (VCMs) could complement government policies and drive tens of billions of dollars into activities that sequester greenhouse gases, avoid new emissions, and help move the global economy toward net zero as well as protect and restore nature and benefit people. But markets do not naturally focus on such public purposes. A new multi-stakeholder initiative, the outcome of the recent high-level Task Force on Scaling Voluntary Carbon Markets, now aims to ensure that these markets scale quickly while maintaining their public purpose at the core.
Join Kavita Prakash-Mani and Mark Kenber, two members of the initiative's newly formed Board of Directors, as they draw on their extensive experience to provide insights into the urgent challenges and opportunities of this new kind of market. Thunderbird Professor Ann Florini will moderate, with welcoming remarks from the Elliott School's Jay Shambaugh and Sunil Sharma.
