In December 2023, the world’s largest carbon registries signed an agreement to collectively increase the impact of their activities and support host countries in their work to achieve their NDCs outlined in the Paris Agreement, as well as foster innovation, promote knowledge exchange, and facilitate the dissemination of best practices among participating countries. Some of the registries actually have collaborated together on an ad hoc basis for years. What lies ahead for future, formal collaboration and what can the registries advance together?

The voluntary carbon market provides a critical avenue for corporations striving toward ambitious net zero goals. This session is part one of a two-part series and will focus on the supply side of the equation. Panelists will discuss the current levels of integrity in VCM credits and how corporations and others can identify high-integrity credits, including the use of the developing guidance from ICVCM.
