The Voluntary Carbon Market (VCM): Real, Additional, and Permanent?

• Is the time of reduction or avoidance credits over, and can we finally increase removal credits in this ‘niche’ market of high-quality credits?
• The VCM is more agile and flexible, making it ideal for scaling novel carbon removal methods. How can these more expensive credits be promoted?
• What has the outcome of IC-VCM’s The Core Carbon Principles been? Is the SBTi's Corporate Net-Zero Standard motivating businesses to use removals in their target setting?
• How are government-led voluntary (CACF) and compliance efforts taking shape, and are they making an impact?
• Have the above efforts contributed enough towards transparency, accountability, and integrity to increase business activity? Where are the bottlenecks?
