What ensures a carbon credit truly delivers for climate, nature, and people? This session brings together six leading standards setters (ACR, ART, Ecosystem
Restoration Standard, Gold Standard, Plan Vivo, and Verra) to unpack how their methodologies are evolving and aligning with high-integrity principles and the latest science. Tailored for buyers, this event will explore how third-party certification addresses common concerns and helps identify credits you can trust.

As part of a breakfast event running from 8:30 am to noon, this panel will explore the potential of soil carbon credits as a high-quality carbon removal solution and a driver for scaling regenerative agriculture. Speakers will discuss how voluntary carbon markets can accelerate full-farm decarbonization, supporting both food security and climate goals. Key challenges in scaling soil carbon as a credible, investable solution will be addressed, alongside the role of insetting vs. offsetting. With billions of tonnes needing removal annually, but a current capacity set for thousands, where does soil carbon fit in—and how do we scale?
