VCMI at COP29
The VCMI team is looking forward to attending COP29 in Baku, where we will be hosting, participating in, and speaking at various events.
The focus of our conversations will be driving real-world climate action through high-integrity in voluntary carbon markets (VCMs), achieving global net zero through a just and equitable transition.
Our team will be on the ground to share insights on VCMI Claims, including the beta Scope 3 Claim, as well as our Access Strategies work in collaboration with host countries and partners.
Our flagship event, Delivering High Integrity Carbon Markets: How we unlock the finance to accelerate climate action, co-hosted with ICVCM and GCMU on the 14th November, invites leaders from the private sector, NGOs, and government to participate in a Town Hall discussion focused on the reforms to the Voluntary Carbon Market.
This event provides a unique opportunity to Ask Us Anything. As your hosts, we will present our work to deliver a locally anchored, globally connected market that improve integrity, delivers scale and achieves positive impact for climate-vulnerable countries. We invite you to share your perspectives on what is needed to strengthen private sector investment and advance impactful climate action. We look forward to your participation.
