Have you been to the #LACS2024 carbon market lounge yet?

💡 Innovative regulation in Colombia and Chile has paved the way for the use of carbon markets to support local climate ambitions. Our first #LACS2024 Day 3 plenary enables governments, market participants and local communities to share their experiences and help drive the just transition. #justtransition #voluntarycarbonmarkets #climataction #climatepolicy

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
