More Than Carbon: Integrity, Impact, and Market Confidence
The conversations that shape Carbon Forward start the night before. On the eve of the conference, Agreena and Quadriz are bringing together a selected group of corporate buyers and market leaders for a focused panel and networking drinks, where the real connections get made.
Buyers of carbon credits are being asked for more than compliance. They need to show real impact, stand behind the quality of what they buy, and explain the wider value of nature-based solutions to their stakeholders. The panel will explore how the market can build confidence by pairing rigorous standards with the co-benefits that make NBS worth investing in, across soil carbon, ARR and REDD+.
The panel
A conversation on nature-based solutions, from soil to canopy, and how co-benefits, community impact and verified quality standards are growing trust between high-integrity projects and corporate buyers.
