VCMs at Climate Week New York City
Key Events Pioneering High-Integrity Voluntary Carbon Markets
The Voluntary Carbon Market is critical to meeting our global climate goals
Alongside significant reductions within their own value chains, investing in CCP-labelled credits which are backed by rigorous scientific standards, is a crucial, complementary tool for companies to do more to reduce global emissions.
Climate Week New York had over 600 events and activities across the City. As well as participating in key VCM events, the Integrity Council co-hosted a full day event – Accelerating Climate Action: Delivering High-Integrity Carbon Markets.
The Integrity Council at Climate Week New York City
Accelerating Climate Action:
Delivering High-Integrity Carbon Markets
The Integrity Council for the Voluntary Carbon Market (ICVCM), the Global Carbon Market Utility (GCMU), and the Voluntary Carbon Markets Integrity Initiative (VCMI), play unique, complementary roles in reforming the voluntary carbon market to support and accelerate ambitious climate action.
From the supply of high-quality credits, to integrity in how credits are bought and sold in the market, to the use of credits and claims made about their use. Our shared goal is to unlock the potential of voluntary carbon markets to mobilise much needed climate finance, to achieve real impact.
VCM Day was an opportunity to hear from high-level leaders during Climate Week NYC pledging to step up, identify challenges, and forge a path to accelerate climate action.
