Running carbon credit programs: Best practices workshop for buyers
Amidst adverse headwinds on the climate front, London Climate Action Week is about uniting sustainability leaders to stay the course and, crucially, to take decisive action.
In that spirit, we're inviting you to a hands-on, buyer-only workshop on How to run a carbon credit program. This isn’t another conceptual discussion — it’s designed to be practical, grounded, and directly applicable.
This is an opportunity to connect with peers, share real-world challenges and exchange best practices for building and operating carbon programs that work in practice, not just in theory.
Join us for an action-focused event :
8:30-9:00: Breakfast & networking with sustainability leaders.
Forge valuable connections right from the start, engaging with peers who are serious about making a difference.
9:00-10:15: Behind the curtains of carbon programs.
