What do you know about carbon markets? The latest film in our series on innovation in sustainability explores how high-integrity voluntary carbon markets can help reduce carbon emissions, alongside credible transition plans, by getting corporations and others to take accountability for their emissions through high quality carbon credits that support credible projects around the world. Carbon markets can help channel capital into the hands of people and projects that reduce and remove carbon from the environment, in the most efficient way possible today. “If we can price carbon into the financial system, we can create the outcomes that we’re looking for in our markets”, says Marisa Drew, our Chief Sustainability Officer. Scaling the development of carbon markets is the focus of one of the four Innovation Hubs we’ve established to help advance emerging areas of sustainability.
