The dialogue was enriched by diverse perspectives on the essential factors that can advance voluntary carbon markets. We were incredibly lucky to have James Cameron, a renowned figure in the climate change arena, moderate the conversation. His work has been instrumental in bridging law, policy, finance, and innovation to tackle sustainable development challenges. Joining him were:
- Violet Shivutse, founder of Shibuye Community Health Workers, a grassroots organization championing climate resilience and women's rights in Kenya;
- Jesse Worker, Acting Director at the World Resource Institute's Center for Equitable Development, focusing on climate governance;
- Apoorva Oza, former CEO of Aga Khan Rural Support Programme India, now Global Lead for Agriculture and Climate Change at the Aga Khan Development Network; and
- Jasmina Haynes, Integrity Action CEO
The conversation underscored the voluntary carbon market's potential for good for communities and the critical role that trust, transparency and accountability plays in getting there.
