If you missed part 1 of this series, that’s where we explore the supply side of these essential forest conservation carbon credits. Now, let’s focus on the demand side. Why do organizations purchase ‘Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation’ (REDD+) credits, and how do these transactions support global sustainability goals? As of November 2024, this subject is timely as some REDD+ programs just received the Core Carbon Principles (CCP) label, recognising high-quality carbon credits that create verifiable climate impact.

Erika Schiller is joined by Bryan McCann, Senior Director of Corporate Solutions at Climate Impact X & early leader at LEAF Coalition, and Anna Stablum, ClimeCo’s Director of Business Development in Asia.

Learn how companies use REDD+ credits in voluntary and compliance markets, the claims associated with these purchases, and the challenges to ensure credit quality and transparency. They also discuss the role of international frameworks like Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA) and the Paris Agreement’s Article 6 in driving demand, highlighting how these programs encourage corporate sustainability strategies while fostering global cooperation on emissions reduction.

Discover how REDD+ demand drives corporate climate action and why this market is essential for mitigating climate change.

This episode references recent ICVCM approvals of new REDD+ methodologies, including ART TREES v2.0, Verra VCS VM0048, and the Jurisdictional and Nested REDD+ Framework, which aim to improve the credibility of carbon credits.

‘COP’ stands for ‘Conference of the Parties,’ a global gathering where countries negotiate and make decisions under UN conventions on climate change, biodiversity, and desertification. More than a conference, COP includes structured scientific, technological, and policy-driven discussions, involving ministers and experts from each country. This process creates frameworks and agreements that countries adopt to address pressing environmental issues like climate change such as the Paris Agreement.

In this episode, host Erika Schiller is joined by Nathalie Flores, Vice-Chair of the Subsidiary for Science and Technology Body of UN Climate Change, to discuss the role of COP in advancing international climate policy and action. With COP29 in Azerbaijan in November, their conversation provides timely insights into what the event is, why it matters, and how it sets the stage for global agreements and national commitments. 

Nathalie explains the significance of Article 6 of the Paris Agreement in establishing markets for emissions reduction and discusses how countries meet climate targets through Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs).

Join host Erika Schiller as she welcomes Peter Zaman, Partner at HFW, and Anna Stablum, ClimeCo's Business Development Director, to explore the intricacies of how CORSIA interacts with the Paris Agreement's Article 6, the challenges of avoiding double counting and double claiming in carbon credits, and the broader implications for international aviation emissions. 

How is CORSIA shaping the future of aviation sustainability? Tune in to find out!Subscribe to the ESG Decoded Podcast on your favorite streaming platforms and social media to be notified of new episodes.

CORSIA (Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation) aims to cap international aviation emissions at 85% of 2019 levels. The program requires airlines to offset emissions that cannot be reduced through technology, operational improvements, or sustainable aviation fuels, helping limit aviation-related emissions through 2035.
