The voluntary carbon markets (VCM) stand at a crossroads. While new standards and methodologies are being taken up that address concerns over quality and integrity, the market has also seen recent demand signals, such as announcement of the Symbiosis Coalition pledging an advance market purchase commitment of 20 million tonnes CO2e. Natural climate solutions (NCS) are readily available to help meet this demand and can achieve a third of cost-effective global climate mitigation efforts. While as an emerging asset class nature lacks the track record of other investment opportunities, NCS are maturing and the market continues to learn new best practices and considerations for evaluating and ensuring the quality of NCS investments. Building on the recently released Natural Climate Solutions for the Voluntary Carbon Market: An Investor Guide for Companies and Financial Institutions, this 1-hour webinar will explore opportunities and best practices for investing in Natural Climate Solutions projects for the voluntary carbon market.
