Ground truth: Pricing, credibility, and corporate strategy for removal in the Global South
What does it take to make carbon removal credible and fairly priced where it’s deployed, not just where it’s bought?
This session looks at where prices for high-quality nature-based credits are heading, what’s driving them, and where removals actually sit in corporate climate strategies today.
Rather than treating nature-based and durable removal as competing categories, the discussion approaches them as one portfolio that can serve Global South priorities. It also holds co-benefits claims to a clear standard: backed by evidence, not marketing.
What we’ll cover:
Price trends for high-quality nature-based credits and the factors behind them
How companies are positioning removals within their climate strategies
Building nature-based and durable removal into a complementary portfolio
What credible, evidence-based co-benefits claims look like
