Background

With numerous “net zero” and “carbon neutrality” pledges being announced, carbon markets are booming, but does this equal climate action? In this webinar, we will discuss the new financial sector-led taskforce to “scale up” the voluntary market, the future of carbon offsets, as envisioned by carbon credit standards, and alternative ways of channelling climate finance proposed by a leading research institute.
