Description: The Voluntary Carbon Markets (VCM) is one such tool that can help to channel billions in investment that can build vibrant, green economies, while also contributing towards global climate action. Africa’s potential in the supply of high-quality carbon credits is vast.
However we need to firmly root end-to-end integrity and accessibility into the VCM system. The current international VCM ecosystem can be leveraged with robust, lower cost and efficient VCM domestic ecosystems.
Key issues to be addressed in this webinar are:
- 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 the domestic ecosystems complement each other?
