The diversity of projects types across the #voluntarycarbonmarkets never fails to impress. Here, Ecosystem Marketplace counts 170 different types across eight overarching categories, each with its own unique attributes and benefits.   With a $1T-plus climate finance gap still to fill, more and more carbon projects are certainly needed, but this much diversity can also offer corporations a paradox of choice when it comes to executing on their carbon credit goals.    At Flowcarbon, we're committed to helping corporates navigate this intricate tapestry of carbon credits, empowering credit buyers and project investors to make informed decisions for a sustainable future. Together, we're shaping tomorrow, one credit at a time. #CarbonCredits #SustainabilityMatters #ClimateAction #FlowcarbonInsights 

I attended the GreenBiz Group NetZero event yesterday and was once again blown away by the huge number of groups — corporations, NGOs, consultancies, marketing agencies, and startups — working toward a sustainable and fully green medium-term future. One mind-blowing thing I learned is that regardless of your sustainability initiatives or environmental advocacy work, the carbon footprint generated by investments and cash held in big banks are likely the largest source of any organization's emissions because the financial industry continues to bankroll fossil fuel companies and projects. If that disturbs you (as it did me), check out the work that BankFWD is doing to accelerate the transition to a just, zero-carbon economy via decarbonization of the financial sector. You can also calculate your bank's carbon footprint and measure the emissions of your cash on their site. Bonus: switching banks might be the most powerful aspect of your CSR work.

How do you balance carbon offsetting with real emission reductions in your strategy? What steps do you think are most effective for sustainable decarbonisation?

Helping companies transition to reduce their #climate impact is important to many investors. Steve Williams #NikkoAM Head Portfolio Manager – Core Markets, says, “In our view, you can create a green and sustainable portfolio that will equal the returns from traditional fixed income.” Come read what he told Asset TV UK about the threats and opportunities in climate transition from a fixed income perspective. #ESG #bonds https://lnkd.in/g_yqUXmD

I’m engaging with global leaders into the intricacies of carbon finance at the @Reuters IMPACT summit. The spotlight is on voluntary carbon markets – something we at @C-Quest Capital consider a crucial mechanism to catalyze contributions to climate mitigation globally.   Businesses, finance experts, and governments are sharing insights, discussing best practices, and outlining the future roadmap of carbon finance. Our role in advancing these markets is paramount, ensuring they are both robust and transparent. From understanding ESG-related risks to building net-zero toolkits, every conversation here paves the way for a resilient future. I am really excited about what is coming today!!   #CQuestCapital #CQC #ReutersIMPACT #ClimateLeadership #ClimateAction #VoluntaryCarbonMarkets #VCM #CarbonMarkets
