Unlocking the Carbon Markets: From Guidance to Action, recent initiatives to mobilise demand
The event will examine what will unlock the growth of carbon credits and markets. The session will open with a presentation of the guidance developed by the LSFI/ALFI Voluntary Carbon Credits and Carbon Markets Taskforce, which aims to provide a clear framework for financial institutions that wish to set up investment vehicles with strategies linked to the voluntary carbon market. It will continue with a presentation of the Coalition to Grow Carbon Markets Playbook, which sets out policy levers that governments can consider to support sustainable, long-term demand from companies for high-integrity carbon credits. The session will then move into a panel discussion on carbon markets in action, bringing together financial players who are actively working to move the market forward. Panelists will also consider the role that voluntary and article 6 carbon credits could play within the overarching climate framework, and what this could mean for market integrity, demand and investment.

Monitoring Capital Flows to Sustainable Investments
Organised in collaboration with the EU Platform on Sustainable Finance, the event will present the second edition of the report “Monitoring Capital Flows to Sustainable Investments”, prepared by the EU Sustainable Finance Platform under its third mandate.
It will be followed by a panel aiming to open a high-level discussion on financing the sustainability transition in Europe and globally, examining where capital is currently flowing and how it can be scaled up and mobilised towards sustainable investments at the scale and speed required.
