Carbon Connection

If you are new to carbon markets, you’ve come to the right place! Join this episode with Business Development Manager Lauren Napuck as she introduces carbon markets, including an outline of what they are, the difference between voluntary and compliance, and ways in which you can get involved.

Si no conoce los mercados de carbono, ha venido al lugar adecuado. Participe en este episodio con Celeste Melendez, Analista Asociada, que le presentará los mercados de carbono y le explicará en qué consisten, la diferencia entre voluntariado y cumplimiento, y cómo puede participar en ellos.

As CO2 and other greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions remain in the atmosphere for long periods of time, offsetting reductions in GHG emissions must effectively be permanent. In this episode, Business Development Manager Lauren Napuck will define permanence for offsets, review how it is measured, and share how the Reserve ensures the permanence of our carbon projects through several key mechanisms.

Dado que el CO2 y otras emisiones de GEI permanecen en la atmósfera durante largos periodos de tiempo, la compensación de las reducciones de emisiones de GEI debe ser efectivamente permanente. En este episodio, definiremos la permanencia de las compensaciones, revisaremos cómo se mide y compartiremos cómo la Reserva garantiza la permanencia de nuestros proyectos de carbono a través de varios mecanismos clave. Este episodio está presentado por Miguel López Delgado, Gerente de Equipo Analítico LATAM.

Dentro del programa de la Reserva de Acción Climática, los protocolos son como reglamentos escritos que proporcionan una guía detallada sobre cómo se deben desarrollar los proyectos de compensación y cómo se cuantifican las reducciones de emisiones. En este episodio de" Cubriendo los conceptos básicos ", la Asociada Claudia Jurado revisará el contenido de un protocolo, cómo se utilizan los protocolos en la programación de la Reserva, así como el proceso de desarrollo del protocolo, el cual es fundamental para garantizar la integridad del programa.

¿Tienes curiosidad por saber más sobre los principios rectores detrás de la programación y las compensaciones de la Reserva de Acción Climática? En este episodio de " Cubriendo los conceptos básicos ", la Asociada Judy Gallegos nos explicará los principios básicos que guían nuestro programa y aseguran que las reducciones de emisiones de GEI certificadas por la Reserva sean de la más alta calidad.

Cuando se trata de compensaciones de GEI, la adicionalidad significa estar por encima de lo habitual. Pero, ¿cómo se establece la adicionalidad y por qué es tan importante para el mercado de carbono? En este episodio de 'Cubriendo los aspectos básicos', la Asociada Abbey Garcia nos explicará el concepto de adicionalidad, las formas de comprobarla y cómo se incorpora a cada uno de los protocolos de la Reserva de Acción Climática.

The Climate Action Reserve is the most trusted, efficient, and experienced offset registry for global carbon markets. With deep roots in California and reach across North America, the Reserve encourages actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and works to ensure environmental benefit, integrity, and transparency in market-based solutions to address global climate change. Wrapping up this iteration of the Carbon Connection series, join our last and extra special guest, President of Climate Action Reserve Craig Ebert, as he shares outlooks and expectations for the Reserve, as well as future expansion opportunities as we head into 2023. Craig also highlights the significance of the Reserve’s role in the carbon market and addresses critiques of carbon offsets and the urgency for action. We hope you’ve enjoyed this series with our internal experts and stay tuned for more information on our next series of Carbon Connection coming soon!

Since 2008, Climate Action Reserve has worked closely with actors across Mexico – including government agencies, NGOs, and ejido communities – to develop protocols that generate high quality offsets and comply with the Reserve’s rigorous standards, while further aligning those protocols with the laws, norms, and on the ground conditions in Mexico. The Mexico Forest Protocol was developed in partnership with these stakeholders as an instrument to channel resources into the forest sector in Mexico, especially as 70% of all forests in Mexico are on communally owned lands. For the second time around, we are thrilled to feature Director of Latin America Amy Kessler as she reviews the recently updated Mexico Forest Protocol and its ability to incentivize activities that increase sequestration and long-term carbon storage, while further providing greater environmental and social benefits to ejidos. Amy also discusses what has made the Reserve’s collaborative work in Mexico successful and what the near-term future holds.

Wildfires are a part of nature, serving as agents of change and revitalization that enable healthy forests, ecosystems, and biodiversity. Although we need wildfires, climate change is dramatically increasing their frequency and severity, which can have tragic impacts to community health and safety, infrastructure, forest health and wildlife habitat. In response to this threat of high intensity wildfires, the Climate Action Reserve is excited to be developing the Avoided Wildfire Emissions (AWE) Forecast Methodology through the Climate Forward program, which describes fuel treatment activities that can be implemented to mitigate wildfire behavior and enhance fire resiliency. Join Forestry Manager Marissa Spence in this next episode of Carbon Connection as she breaks down AWE and shares more on the anticipated climate benefits that can be generated by the carbon market and fuel treatment activities through our new methodology expected to be released this Fall.
