Panel: The Voluntary Carbon Market: Turning point or tipping point?

Date: Thursday, October 15, at 1:45 pm local time

Verra staff moderating: Kristen Linscott, senior manager, financial planning and analysis

Description: The voluntary carbon market is undergoing a period of significant transformation as integrity initiatives and new quality benchmarks reshape both supply and demand. This session will provide a deep dive into how the Core Carbon Principles (CCPs) and other market reforms are influencing project eligibility, buyer behaviour, pricing dynamics and market liquidity. Speakers will assess whether these developments represent a turning point for market credibility and growth, and examine the increasing convergence between voluntary and compliance carbon markets.
