WEBINAR - Carbon Markets and Credit Equivalence

Carbon markets are largely built around efforts to ensure credit integrity and establish fungibility between heterogeneous offset projects on a per-ton basis. But no mechanism can reduce integrity risks to zero, guaranteeing permanence, additionality, and no leakage for centuries, matching the lifetime of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. At this webinar, researchers and practitioners discussed novel approaches to assessing equivalence between different offset projects and improving outcomes from carbon markets. The following panelists joined for the discussion: Raimundo Atal, Economic Fellow at the Institute for Policy Integrity Ben Groom, Dragon Capital Chair of Biodiversity Economics at the University of Exeter Sara Meyers, Managing Director at Three Cairns Group Andrew Westgate, Partner at DLA Piper Erin Shortell, Legal Fellow at the Institute for Policy Integrity (Introduction) Derek Sylvan, Strategy Director at the Institute for Policy Integrity (Moderator) To learn more, see the following Policy Integrity publications about carbon markets: Integrity, Equivalence, and Imperfect Carbon Offsets https://policyintegrity.org/publicati...
