The Partnership for Market Readiness (PMR), with the support of ICROA, commissioned a technical note to understand perspectives of potential host countries on the role international voluntary carbon markets might play in the context of their NDCs and the Paris Agreement. In doing so, it explored emerging issues and challenges these markets may face and clarified key aspects host country governments may need to consider in relation to their market participation.

This webinar presents the key findings of the study and discusses what it means for the development of prospective voluntary markets in the future also considering recent developments like the Voluntary Carbon Markets Taskforce, the Voluntary Carbon Markets Integrity (VMCI) Initiative etc. and the critical work that some countries and independent standards are doing on this.
