Watch On Demand – Carbon Markets and Domestic Ecosystems

To succeed in our global climate ambitions, we need a truly transformational way to finance these ambitions.

The Voluntary Carbon Markets (VCM) is one such tool that can help channel billions in investment that can build vibrant, green economies while also contributing to global climate action. Africa’s potential in the supply of high-quality carbon credits is vast.

However, we need to root end-to-end integrity and accessibility into the VCM system firmly. The current international VCM ecosystem can be leveraged with robust, lower cost and efficient VCM domestic ecosystems.

Key issues addressed in this webinar include:

• What is the added value of developing domestic VCM ecosystems acting as regional hubs?
• What are the main building blocks of domestic VCMs and how should the public and private sector distribute their roles?
• What roles for domestic carbon crediting standards and for national registries?
• How should international and domestic ecosystems complement each other?

Moderator Catiana Garcia-Kilroy, Lead Financial Sector Specialist and Programme Manager of Sustainable Finance Facility at the World Bank, led the discussion with industry experts about navigating the guidance and frameworks critical to governing Voluntary Carbon Markets.
