How verified standards drive carbon market growth

This week: David Antonioli, CEO of Verra, talks about how verified standards on emission reductions can give business the transparency and credibility they need to plot a route to achieving net zero emissions in operations and supply chains. He explains how standards have to continually evolve to adapt to best practice – on biodiversity and social issues as well as emissions – and why carbon offsetting is only part of the solution for decarbonising the global economy.  

Plus: the World Economic Forum’s key business risks for 2022; targeting forest finance via the Trillion Trees initiative from Birdlife International, Wildlife Conservation Society and WWF; and, Norway’s Oda retailer’s behaviour-changing consumer engagement on product impact, in the news digest.
