Read below for more information from Climate Transformed regarding their VCM forum:

Voluntary Carbon Markets (VCM) are the bridge to a world where technologies can decarbonise global supply chains. Capital is being abundantly deployed into every facet of the VCM ecosystem from project development to derivatives, all in anticipation of a marketplace that could be worth $300bn by 2030.

However, the economic opportunity is clouding the true intent of carbon offsets, with concerns over quality, transparency, and speculation becoming commonplace. How can we build a model where economics and environmental mission align? Climate Transformed’s exploration into every facet of voluntary carbon markets seeks to answer this most fundamental of questions.

The Resource Sovereignty – Are Nature-based Offsets Next? panel is significant to the overall framework for VCM as we believe investors are underestimating the risk to the entire ecosystem. Comparisons to resource nationalism, be that food or industrial commodities are relevant, particularly in the context of Article 6. We will explore whether countries such as Indonesia or Brazil could limit foreign corporates from accessing their vital sources of offset supply.
