About us
The Center for Green Market Activation (GMA) - a US-based, globally focused nonprofit - fills a previously unmet need within the climate solutions ecosystem. Through innovative book-and-claim systems, new and creative procurement approaches and demand aggregating buyers’ alliances, GMA catalyzes and scales the uptake of low- and zero-carbon goods and services in the hardest-to-abate sectors. Through an organizational design that combines shared infrastructure and expertise with sector-specific programs, GMA consolidates a range of value chain mitigation initiatives under a single non-profit umbrella. Our goal is to help companies ramp up their Scope 3 mitigation actions quickly, whether they start with a single sector or a more comprehensive approach, while also helping suppliers access new sources of funding that pave the way to commercial scale production of critical climate technologies.

Sectors such as aviation, trucking, concrete, and chemicals are essential to our modern economy and the source of significant greenhouse gas emissions within companies’ value chains. The Center for Green Market Activation is focused on maximizing the potential of proven, standardized approaches to mitigating those emissions even when green alternatives are not yet widely available. What makes GMA unique is our ability to help organizations address multiple hard to decarbonize sectors under a single umbrella. Through book and claim, coordinated joint procurements, and other approaches that harness demand and activate new sources of funding for suppliers, GMA and its members accelerate a cycle that incentivizes green commodity production and drives #decarbonization.

For many organizations, the vast majority of their emissions take place within their value chain, with suppliers and customers outside of their direct control. The Center for Green Market Activation was founded to help companies address those emissions with high integrity, standardized approaches, while channeling funding to critical climate technologies in hard to decarbonize sectors.

To achieve critical progress in decarbonizing high-emitting sectors, we need new pathways for engagement; expert support to ensure high integrity, ambitious investment; and standardization to allow critical climate technologies to scale, fast. GMA was launched to address current gaps in corporate climate action and is applying new strategies to turn climate commitments into bankable contracts that accelerate the growth of green fuels and materials.

An important milestone with today's release of the draft AIM Platform Criteria for stakeholder comment. The Advanced and Indirect Mitigation (AIM) Platform is seeking feedback between now and June 21.
Today, the AIM Platform released the draft AIM Platform Criteria for stakeholder input. These criteria have been written with a focus on guiding organizations that seek to address emissions in their value chain through "value chain interventions". They focus on clarifying the AIM Platform perspective on what needs to be in place to determine that an intervention can be considered as sufficiently associated with an organization’s value chain as well as what other conditions must be present to ensure sound GHG accounting, environmental integrity, and appropriate claiming of impacts towards a climate target. Each of these criteria requires significant further elaboration in order to be assurable. The next output from the AIM Platform will be the AIM Platform Requirements for Assurance, which will provide significantly more detail on how an organization would prove - and an auditor would check for - alignment with the criteria. As this is a draft for stakeholder comment, it does not yet reflect consensus among the AIM Platform Governing Committee. Indeed, throughout this draft, the AIM Platform Governing Committee has listed particular questions on which it seeks input, in order to inform its further deliberation and eventual adoption of the Criteria. All stakeholders - NGOs, companies, standard setting bodies, etc. - are invited to review the Criteria and provide both general feedback and feedback on the specific highlighted questions by end of day Friday June 21st. Feedback can be submitted by email to [email protected] or using this form: https://lnkd.in/e6MwBMUH.
