Project-Based Carbon Credit Markets Webinar
Experts from Kenya, India, and Brazil convene to examine the regulatory landscape of carbon credits and the potential for national frameworks to ensure environmental integrity.
Project-based carbon credit markets (PCCMs) — which enable the issuance, use, and trading of credits from projects that avoid, reduce, or remove greenhouse gas emissions — are emerging as a key tool for companies to meet several objectives, including emission-reduction targets, compliance obligations, investor expectations, and disclosure requirements. While PCCMs have been expanding, the pace of annual carbon credit issuance has slowed in the last couple of years due to integrity concerns.
To better understand whether regulations can help address some of the problems and the landscape of PCCM regulatory frameworks across countries, the Center on Global Energy Policy (CGEP) at Columbia University SIPA, in collaboration with the Columbia Global Centers in Nairobi and Mumbai, turns to experts from Kenya, India, and Brazil for insights on the topic.
Panelists include:
- Gautam Jain, Senior Research Scholar CGEP
- Luisa Palacios, Adjunct Senior Research Scholar CGEP
- Thiago Barral, Undersecretary for Implementation at the Secretariat of Carbon Markets, Ministry of Finance, Brazil Undersecretary for Implementation at the Secretariat of Carbon Markets, Ministry of Finance, Brazil
