Net zero for business: the opportunities of carbon finance | A side event to the COP27
15 November 2022 @ 9:30 am - 1:00 pm
| FreeGrowing stakeholder engagement on climate will continue to drive net-zero pledges. A corporate net-zero commitment seeks to reduce emissions as far as possible as the primary strategy. However, offsets can be considered once strategies to avoid, reduce, and substitute have been implemented. Rising demand for high-integrity carbon credits will drive up carbon credit prices and require credible carbon finance systems.
