Financing the transition the world needs: Towards a new paradigm for carbon markets

In this report, David Antonioli, the founding CEO of Verra, sets out his alternative vision for the voluntary carbon market. Published by Transition Finance in July 2024, he argues that carbon finance could be a transition tool. If projects rethought the concept of additionality, they could set a point at which carbon revenue is no longer needed for their project the sustain itself. This, he suggests, is needed to catalyse a just transition to a low-carbon economy.
