In this episode, I chat with Gabriel Eickhoff, the co-founder of ClearWind, which is developing carbon credit projects in Southeast Asia. He’s been in the carbon space since 2007 and was involved in the world’s first REDD+ project, Rimba Raya.

It was a long conversation so I’ve split it into three parts. The first part is a history lesson on REDD+ carbon credits, the second part is about market dynamics, and the third part is about controversy in the carbon market this year. 

Here are the time codes for each section:

• Part 1 (0:50 - 41:03): The history of the carbon market and the arrival of Verra
• Part 2 (41:10 - 1:18:53): Winning hearts and minds of the local communities and coping with vacillating demand-side signals
• Part 3 (1:18:58 - 1:53:37): Thoughts about South Pole’s Kariba project and media coverage of REDD+ carbon credits this year
