VCMI at COP30
The VCMI team is looking forward to attending COP30 in Brazil, where we will be participating in and speaking at various events.
Our conversations will focus on driving real-world climate action through high-integrity carbon markets, achieving global net zero through a just and equitable transition.
Our team will be on the ground to share updates from our Access Strategies Program, including a forthcoming Best Practice Guide for high-integrity carbon projects in the Brazilian Amazon, as well as updates from The Coalition to Grow Carbon Markets. VCMI is proud to host the Secretariat for the Coalition, providing technical, administrative and logistical support to Coalition Members and the Coalition’s activities.
