Unlocking high-integrity carbon markets to fund the global climate transition

To limit global warming to 1.5°C, high-integrity carbon markets must scale significantly to fund emission-reduction solutions and high-quality carbon removals. In this session, we will explore the essential factors necessary for these markets to realize their full potential of $50-100 billion annually over the next few decades. This contribution will play a significant role in the global climate transition, bringing about substantial environmental, social, and economic co-benefits.

We’ll cover ways to drive climate action and growth across key areas such as: 

• Navigating and winning the net-zero transition
• Adapting to climate risks and ensuring an inclusive transition to net-zero
• Accelerating innovation in climate technologies
• Closing the net-zero financing gap
• Decarbonizing industry and accelerating the energy transition
• Decarbonizing the mobility and built environment sectors
• Hyperscaling green businesses
• Scaling carbon management
• Solving the nature nexus: Food, agriculture, land use, and water
• The materials transition: Sustainable, circular, and scalable
• Reflections on COP28
