Carbon Removal Solutions Need Further Financial Backing

🌍 **Driving Transparency in Global Carbon Markets** 🌍 In the fight against climate change, carbon markets play a pivotal role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and empowering organizations to achieve their sustainability goals. However, navigating the ever-evolving and fragmented regulatory frameworks can be a challenge for market participants. That's why Gold Standard, a leading certification organization, has introduced the **Global Carbon Market Regulations Tracker**—a game-changing tool tailored to streamline compliance, foster transparency, and uplift accountability across the carbon trading ecosystem. **A Centralized Solution for a Complex Market** This innovative tracker consolidates and monitors carbon market regulations worldwide, providing detailed country-specific insights. By minimizing confusion caused by inconsistent rules and varying policies, it empowers businesses, governments, and other stakeholders to make informed decisions. With the voluntary carbon market (VCM) projected to reach billions in value in the coming years, tools like this are indispensable. They not only build trust among participants but also promote alignment with global initiatives, including **Article 6 of the Paris Agreement**, which governs international carbon market collaboration. **What This Means for Net-Zero Goals and ESG Commitments** For organizations aiming to meet net-zero commitments and implement robust ESG strategies, Gold Standard’s tracker is a powerful ally. It helps stakeholders: - Stay updated on evolving compliance requirements. - Streamline Verified Carbon Unit (VCU) management. - Align carbon offset activities with global best practices. While challenges—such as the harmonization of compliance and voluntary standards—remain, initiatives like this provide a strong foundation to foster innovation and collaboration among key industry players, including Verra and the UNFCCC. **A Step Toward a Sustainable Future** The Global Carbon Market Regulations Tracker marks a significant leap forward in ensuring that carbon markets remain efficient, fair, and impactful. As we collectively accelerate efforts to combat climate change, transparency and accountability are not just desirable—they are essential. The future of carbon markets looks promising, and tools like this will play a key role in making climate action more accessible and effective for all. #ClimateAction #Sustainability #CarbonMarkets #NetZero #ESG

What questions do investors need to ask companies to ensure that they are setting credible carbon reduction targets? And what even constitutes a credible target? I enjoyed discussing this question and more with Michael Garland and Jason Leiker at day 2 of the Fall Council of Institutional Investors conference - great to get both investor and issuer perspectives.

A large energy company faced multiple challenges, including an inconsistent approach to incorporating carbon factors across business units and difficulty identifying low-carbon venture revenue streams and carbon credit generating opportunities, as part of its revised focus on addressing climate change risks and opportunities in its financial decision-making processes. To navigate regulatory risks, satisfy stakeholder expectations, and realize value through energy transition, the company engaged our carbon markets, environmental, sustainability, and financial advisory experts who developed and delivered a tailored capital allocation framework including: • Standardizing GHG quantification methodology for Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. • Defining multiple carbon pricing and policy scenarios for investment evaluations based on different climate policy regulation environments. • Assessing GHG costs and opportunities, including carbon credit revenue generation. • Integrating carbon factors into investment metrics. • Establishing a governance structure for consistent framework application. As a result, the company was able to strengthen its risk management approach, improve alignment with sustainability goals, and realize key low-carbon opportunities.

🌟 Exciting News from Our Team! 🌟 We are pleased to announce our new name: Capital Continuum Advisers. This name reflects our commitment to illustrating the dynamic evolution of projects and industries within the financial landscape. The Capital Continuum describes how initiatives transition from high-risk, capital-constrained phases, often associated with elevated costs, to a stage of reduced risk, enhanced value, and greater access to commercial and institutional capital. Early-stage investments typically rely on grants, whether in research environments or community transformations, eventually evolving into venture capital, equity, public finance, and debt in the later stages. To mobilize the estimated $7 trillion needed to meet the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and ensure we keep global warming at a liveable level, it is imperative that we attract private capital swiftly. The Capital Continuum framework empowers us to better align opportunity with risk, while clearly identifying critical gaps within the system. At Capital Continuum Advisers, we tackle these pressing challenges by focusing on Sustainable Infrastructure across diverse landscapes. Our initiatives extend from natural infrastructure solutions, including reforestation, mangrove restoration, and regenerative agriculture, to the green built environment, encompassing affordable housing, smart water urban infrastructure, and renewable energy. This strategic approach enables us to diversify our revenue strategies while addressing essential natural and societal needs. By considering climate finance requirements related to nature-based solutions and sustainable infrastructure, we have pinpointed numerous critical market gaps. We are unwavering in our dedication to addressing these gaps through designing innovative investment solutions and providing tailored advisory services for investors and funds committed to supporting the Global South. At the core of our operations is an enduring commitment to integrity. By bringing innovative climate solutions to our investor and advisory partners throughout the Capital Continuum, we aim to transform climate finance and structure $1 billion for transformational, high-impact investments in nature and sustainable infrastructure by 2030. Join us on this transformative journey as we navigate the future of climate finance together! 🌍💚 #CapitalContinuum #SustainableInfrastructure #ClimateFinance #Investment #SustainableDevelopmentGoals #Innovation #NatureBasedSolutions Karin Berardo Edit Kiss Arthur Wace Yoshimi Higuchi Ayse Frey Clemens Ploechl Roopal Kanabar Emma L.
