Rounding off the day, Indigenous People and Local Communities shared their views on how to evolve carbon markets. Discussing safeguards, benefits sharing and the just transition, it was clear that the main message was trust. Trust will help drive funding to where it is needed, benefit those it should and help projects not only meet but exceed their potential for generations to come 🙏 We all have a role to play in helping the voices of Indigenous People and Local Communities to be heard. #trust #carbonmarkets #vcm #iplcs #climateaction #justtransition

Leaders in the Center for Community Investment practitioner network are focused on creating an ecosystem where community-led initiatives can succeed. They build capacity among local stakeholders and communities to effectively utilize and amplify capital, driving forward their key objectives. This #EarthDay, we are incredibly excited to dig into the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's selections for $20 billion in grant awards from the $27 billion Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF)! The awards, made under the National Clean Investment Fund and Clean Communities Investment Accelerator, aim to establish a national clean financing network. Read more about the GGRF here >> https://bit.ly/4aKmLjD and check out Impact Alpha’s latest article, “EPA’s new partners plot a $27 billion path to a US green bank” here >> https://bit.ly/4b4Vick which envisions how these funds will roll out to top coalitions, such as Power Forward, Climate United, and the Coalition for Green Capital, and eventually, to communities in need. #GreenhouseGasReducationFund #InflationReductionAct #sustainability #environmentalism #impactalpha

At this week’s Carbon Market Institute (CMI)’s 10th #AERSummit in Sydney, meet Gondwana Carbon co-founder Daryl Killin, CCO Mark Gasson and COO Jakob Riegger. They’re keen to meet to discuss some of the pressing issues in the current Australian #carbon landscape: 1) The reform of #Australia’s #safeguardmechanism presents a powerful instrument to meaningfully reduce the country’s #emissions in line with the #parisagreement. 2) The Australian land sector continues to bear great potential for significant #naturebasedsolutions #carbonprojects and #biodiversity #protection. Yet, this has to be done the right way, with #integrity and empowering local landholders and communities. 3) #IPCOS and article 6 are further opportunities for Australia and the wider #APAC region to decarbonise while achieving equitable social outcomes. Come have a yarn and find out many of the exciting prospects Gondwana brings to these conversations and more. #carbonmarkets #carboncredits

#CarbonMarkets The Mesoamerican Alliance of Peoples and Forests (AMPB) has issued a pivotal declaration calling for fair and transparent carbon markets and #REDD+ processes that honor the rights of Indigenous peoples and local communities. The declaration states: "In the face of the Climate Crisis and its serious global consequences, governments and private enterprises have pushed forward 'Nature-based Solutions' which include carbon markets and REDD+ initiatives. However, the construction of these mechanisms did not consider, from their design, the vision of Indigenous Peoples, local communities, and other collectives, protected by rights. Today, these mechanisms raise serious doubts regarding the accuracy of their accounting, real impacts, and respect for the rights of Indigenous Peoples and local communities" Click to learn more and read the full declaration ⬇️ https://bit.ly/3Kmbjzd
