Exploring Carbon Credit Quality as a Key to Corporate Climate Action

Carbon credits are in high demand from companies and organizations aiming to meet their climate goals and obligations. To achieve these goals and obligations, carbon credits must be of high quality and effectively contribute to the goals of the Paris Agreement. However, not all carbon credits are of high quality, and it can be difficult for companies and users to navigate the carbon market and identify quality.

Moderated by Ari Alexander, general manager of Sustainability Cloud, Salesforce, the session will include:

• Pedro Barata, Senior Director of Climate Policy at Environmental Defense Fund, representing the Integrity Council for the Voluntary Carbon Market as Co-Chair of the Expert Panel
• Lambert Schneider, Research Coordinator for International Climate Policy at Öko-Institut, representing the Carbon Credit Quality Initiative
• Samuel Gill, Co-Founder & COO, Sylvera

This panel of carbon market experts and quality assessment providers will discuss how and why companies should seek out high quality carbon credits that deliver actual climate benefits as well as social and environmental co-benefits.

This CCQI side event will be in Auditorium 1 of the Business Pavilion. For in-person engagement, delegates must have a Blue Zone pass. For virtual attendance, please view the livestream link here: https://vimeo.com/event/2552799
