Climate Finance at an Inflection Point

It’s widely recognised that climate solutions need finance. But how can this be achieved? This briefing paper, published by The World Economic Forum in January 2023, considers the state of finance in the voluntary carbon market and makes a series of recommendations to help it scale. These include engaging with the ICVCM and VCMI’s work and publicly declaring participation to help signal demand. It also offers guidance to help businesses build evolving carbon credit portfolios over time.
