Breakfast Briefing: Recommendations to Increase Natural Ecosystem Restoration Projects and Impacts
Breakfast Briefing: Recommendations to Increase Natural Ecosystem Restoration Projects and Impacts
Thursday, May 23, 2024
8:00am to 9:00am
Main Stage (The Forum)
Buyers of carbon credits on the voluntary carbon market (VCM) are increasingly seeking high-quality projects that benefit biodiversity and ecological restoration beyond climate change mitigation. While stand-out projects that advance both do exist, relatively few projects today meet this bar. Consequently, buyers can find it difficult to identify and evaluate projects that promote multifaceted outcomes. In this session, panelists will explore:
The types of nature-based projects best suited to deliver benefits across climate and nature.
The barriers to ecosystem restoration in the VCM and strategies for how buyers can help overcome them.
Dr. Sarah Federman, Director of Landscape Decarbonization at Carbon Direct, will be joined on the panel by:
Tracy Johns, Head of carbon removal program, Meta
Rahul Barua, Director of Climate Finance Innovation, Salesforce
Alex Moore, PhD, Asst. Prof., Dept. of Forest & Conservation Sciences and Dept. of Botany, The University of British Columbia
Moderator: Sanna O'Connor-Morberg - Senior Science and Strategy Manager, Carbon Direct
