The Integrity Council for the Voluntary Carbon Market (VCM) is thrilled to participate in London Climate Action Week which starts this weekend. 📈 Members of our team will take part in exciting discussions, sharing insights on building trust and transparency in the #VCM. This is key to unlocking its full potential in combating the #ClimateCrisis. 🌱 ICVCM is working towards building a robust and high functioning #VCM2.0. through collaboration and dialogue. 🌿 💡Interested in connecting with ICVCM at these events? Reach out to our representatives to discuss the latest developments in the #VoluntaryCarbonMarket. 🔗Visit the London Climate Action Week website to explore the full event schedule: https://lnkd.in/eDNs6NF #LCAW2024

Additonal detail on the corporate decarbonization and net zero journey from The Integrity Council for the Voluntary Carbon Market (ICVCM) VCMI Science Based Targets initiative We Mean Business Coalition CDP Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG Protocol). The release says- “Transitioning to a sustainable future can seem a complex, and at times, daunting proposition for companies. The stages, processes and issues can be technically challenging and understanding which organizations to turn to for support, and which frameworks to follow, is sometimes not straightforward.” - which might be the understatement of the year. Nevertheless, this important announcement will enable us to move towards clearer guidance and roles and responsibilities across the voluntary corporate action space.
High-integrity corporate climate action is essential if we are to achieve the goals of the #ParisAgreement and keep 1.5 alive. ICVCM is proud to join organisations from across the VCM who have come together to demonstrate how each of them play complementary roles in supporting ambitious climate action. A new infographic - see below - helps businesses to understand who they should look to, first for support decarbonising their operations and value chains, and second, for addressing remaining emissions with high-integrity carbon credits.

🌍 I had the privilege of attending the 60th session of the UNFCCC Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice (SBSTA) in Bonn. The SBs play an important role in preparing the agenda and decisions for the annual Conference of the Parties (COP). It was a great opportunity to collaborate with global experts on advancing climate solutions. #UNFCCC #ClimateAction #SBSTA60

Though the buildings sector was underrepresented at the recently concluded #APCW2023, three critical themes emerged on the need for human-centred messaging to drive change. GBPN Networks and Operations Manager, Kavya Gopal was at the climate week and noted her key takeaways.

The path to Padova 2030 – climate neutral city – takes a new step, with the activation of an online form in which, on a personal level or representing a group (entity, association, etc.), it is possible to propose an action aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions, responsible for climate change. These actions, following an evaluation by municipal technicians, may be included in the Climate City Contract that the city will sign, within the framework of the European Union’s Zero Cities Mission program, committing itself to achieving climate neutrality by 2030. The online form is published in the web page of the Padova 2030 mission. Read more: https://lnkd.in/daq3bzSb #2ISECAP #H2020 #livingLabs #OLLD23

Reflecting on an eye-opening experience at Asia Pacific Climate Week 2023! Despite the limited focus on buildings, I saw several threads of connection between buildings, cooling, health, and regenerative economies throughout the week. As we all know, we need faster, bolder, and more just climate action now. I'm grateful that at Global Buildings Performance Network (GBPN) I get to think about how buildings are a part of that solution. #apcw2023 #sustainablebuildings

Nations across the ocean, also known as Small Island Developing States, (SIDS), are often defined by their unique and extreme challenges including their size, remoteness, and limited resources. This means they experience disproportionate exposure to economic, social, and environmental shocks resulting too often in economic and infrastructure damage, displacement of people, and loss of lives. Despite these challenges, SIDS play a key role in ocean governance, addressing the climate crisis, and working to #BeatPlasticPollution. Ahead of the #SIDS4 conference, get an overview of UNEP’s work: https://lnkd.in/dDvRXxbj

Carbon Market Institute (CMI) in partnership with the Clean Energy Regulator (CER) has designed CMI's next masterclass series tomorrow to support organisations on how to better understand opportunities to participate in carbon markets and highlight emerging market innovations. Voluntary carbon markets in Australia face several challenges, similar to those experienced in other countries and these challenges can hinder the growth and effectiveness of carbon markets- that's why we celebrate CMI and the CER efforts to address these challenges which requires collaborative efforts from market participants including buyers and the solutions providers, as well as a highly sophisticated investment community, government bodies, and non-governmental organizations- the Climate Investor Forum convenes these key stakeholders while showcasing Australia's world class climate solutions in this sector . Some of our challenges and opportunities for a robust carbon market in Australia: 🍃 Lack of Clear Regulatory Framework- absence of a clear and consistent regulatory framework creates uncertainty for buyers and sellers, making it difficult to establish trust and ensure the integrity of carbon credits. 🍃 Credibility and Verification - credibility and verification of carbon credits is a significant challenge. Buyers need assurance that the emissions reductions claimed are real and additional. 🍃Carbon Offset Standards- diversity of carbon offset standards and certification bodies can lead to confusion in the market. 🍃Pricing and Value - the right price for carbon credits can be difficult, as the voluntary carbon market in Australia is still relatively small and may not have well-defined price signals. 🍃Additionality and Permanence - ensuring that emissions reductions are additional and permanent is a fundamental challenge. Carbon offset projects must demonstrate that they would not have occurred without the sale of carbon credits and that emissions reductions will be maintained over time. 🍃Market Fragmentation- various players operating independently and potential lack of cohesiveness. 🍃Competition with Other Markets- The voluntary carbon market may face competition from other carbon markets which can affect the demand and pricing of voluntary carbon credits. 🍃Limited Supply of High-Quality Credits- Ensuring a sufficient supply and availability of high-quality carbon credits and projects that meet rigorous sustainability and additionality criteria.
What is the future of carbon neutrality and voluntary corporate climate commitments? Climate Active recently opened its consultation to consider how it, as a framework, can strengthen the voluntary actions of corporates to ensure that they are adequately aligned with verifiable investments and progress in genuine decarbonisation. The third panel of our Perth masterclass will consider these questions as it builds on the previous two panels to look at how corporates might better engage in voluntary climate action. With speakers: Larissa Taylor (Savoir Consulting), Lloyd Vas (WeAct), Daniel Sheedy (Climate Active), David Carter (Austral Fisheries) & Ray Wilson (Carbon Neutral) Join us virtually or in person, Friday November 3, 1-3.30pm AEDT.

RakworX has joined the iMasons Climate Accord (ICA). ICA is a historic coalition designed to govern a methodology to measure and reduce carbon in the infrastructure through products, power, and materials. We are joined by the leaders of the industry who all agree that the key to achieving carbon neutrality is by uniting together. Join us in the pledge to work together to reduce carbon in the digital infrastructure. climateaccord.org #climateaccord #Sustainability #CarbonNeutrality #ResponsibleData
