“We must seize every opportunity to reduce emissions today. Clear direction from governments gives companies confidence to act." 🎤 Mark Kenber, Executive Director of VCMI, spoke on-stage alongside The Integrity Council for the Voluntary Carbon Market (ICVCM)'s Annette Nazareth and others to welcome the launch of the US Government's Voluntary Carbon Markets Joint Policy Statement and Principles. “This is exactly what the United States is providing. The Principles are fully compatible with VCMI’s Claims Code, which gives companies a standard they can use now to engage in voluntary #carbonmarkets and make verified claims.” 📣 Last week's announcement builds confidence and will help the #VCM realize its full potential. It sets a precedent for countries: ministers from countries around the globe – such as Kenya, the UK, Ghana, Japan, and Finland, among others – have already voiced their support for VCMI's Claims Code Practice. VCMI will continue to work with policymakers, both in the US and globally, to drive integrity in voluntary carbon markets, delivering benefits for people and the planet. 🔗 Learn more: https://lnkd.in/e2w2U4-y #ClimateAction #ClimatePolicy #NetZero U.S. Department of the Treasury

Navigating the challenges of #Scope3 emission reporting isn't just an industry secret—it's a widely acknowledged frontier! From the daunting task of calculating emissions to ensuring #consistency and comparability across #companies within a sector, the journey is fraught with hurdles. Imagine grappling with customized #emissionfactors, ambiguous #boundaries, and fluctuating #activity data-it's a true puzzle! Recently, the Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG Protocol) shared findings from a survey aimed at improving their guidance, highlighting the ongoing effort to simplify this vital information https://lnkd.in/dQhaxxBQ. While we anticipate these improvements will ease the complexity in the future, the urgency to integrate emissions data into investment decisions demands immediate action.

TLDR: Carbon Markets are "a critical bridge to long-term climate solutions", but need to be aggressively streamlined, integrated and financialised for this to occur. A neat little summary in the The Wall Street Journal on the need for carbon markets and how to best improve them. From our experience, there are a few additional ways to enhance and grow them even further: - Improve investor accessibility: carbon markets are full names and terms that aren't found in other major asset-classes: compliance vs voluntary, removals and avoidance, methodology, registries, nature-based or technology-based and many more. Two distinctions actually matter: 1) government created vs project-backed (how does the offset/credit contribute to decarbonisation), and 2) integrity and quality (i.e. does the offset/ credit actually contribute to decarbonisation) - Integrity and quality, not vintage: vintage of credits has become a common-place, albeit rough proxy for project quality and integrity. The new Core Carbon Principles from the The Integrity Council for the Voluntary Carbon Market (ICVCM) and the upcoming assessment results of various projects are crucial steps-forward in the market. Aside from being potentially inaccurate, vintage fragments the market needlessly further. - Clarify the accounting treatment: the reduced liquidity of project-backed carbon markets (aka the voluntary carbon market) has made it harder for auditors and tax professionals to decide between appropriate treatment of carbon credits, such as whether to hold their value at cost, or at fair-value, or whether to even treat them as financial assets or as intangibles. For us, this represents a chicken-or-egg problem where the financialisation required to grow carbon markets is only possible through treating them as a more a traditional financial asset. Removing vintage and improving access to pricing would also go a long way in supporting this. #carbonmarkets #voluntarycarbonmarket

The foundation of the Voluntary Carbon Market (VCM), and any carbon removal marketplace, must be trust — trust that each carbon credit represents a genuine removal of CO2 from the atmosphere. Nori secures this trust by maintaining control and accountability over the quality and clarity of our methodologies. This control allows us to prioritize three critical pillars: • Rigor • Transparency • Accessibility Learn more about why Nori creates its own methodologies in our recent blog post from CEO Matt Trudeau and Director of Methodology Rick Berg: https://hubs.ly/Q02wRgWL0
