No Comments By

Watch Resilient LLP’s Lisa DeMarco discuss important developments and insights on voluntary carbon markets during her interview on SmartMarkets™ as part of IETA’s 2023 North American Climate Summit (NACS) last September at Climate Week New York City. The interview explores the role of carbon markets to support corporate climate action and the need for increased (i) integrity, (ii) excellence and transparency, and (iii) ambition, and highlights the important work of the Integrity Council for Voluntary Carbon Markets and the Voluntary Carbon Markets Integrity Initiative to support and provide confidence to corporates and others to credibly use emission units, emission reduction units and removals towards emissions reduction targets. SmartMarkets™ has also compiled a selection of its NACS interviews (including Lisa’s interview) into a special episode (available here) covering how carbon markets support corporate strategy for climate action; how the challenges to operationalize the Article 6 markets, as well as the challenges to the reputation and growth of the voluntary carbon markets, affect corporate strategies; and what were the most important ideas being discussed at NACS.

Voluntary Carbon Markets Integrity Initiative Appoints Expert Advisory Group

No Comments By

The Voluntary Carbon Markets Integrity Initiative (VCMI) yesterday announced that it is has appointed an Expert Advisory Group (EAG), which will provide advice to the VCMI Secretariat and Steering Committee ahead of the launch of its Claims Code of Practice later this year. VCMI launched its Provisional Claims Code of Practice in the middle of last year. Earlier this week, VCMI announced a partnership with Winrock International to produce an operable VCMI Claims Code of Practice for voluntary use of carbon credits. The purpose of the Claims Code of Practice is to provide clear guidance to companies and other non-state actors on when and how they can credibly make voluntary use of carbon credits as part of their net-zero commitments and climate mitigation strategies, and the claims they can make about that use.  VCMI said that EAG participants were invited to join the group due to the range of expertise they bring from across key sectors and geographies. Members include carbon market experts, environmental and sustainability professionals, Indigenous community leaders, and legal and accounting practitioners. Resilient LLP Senior Partner and CEO Lisa DeMarco is among those appointed to the EAG. The full list of EAG members is available on the VCMI website.   For further information or to discuss the contents of this bulletin, please contact Lisa DeMarco at lisa@resilientllp.com.
