Carbon Frontiers 2024

Despite intense criticism by the media, carbon markets and decarbonization efforts keep moving forward.

The number of companies adopting #climate commitments and net-zero targets continued to climb in 2023, and while carbon credit issuance and prices fell, carbon credit retirements hit record levels at the end of the year with momentum continuing in 2024.

In Carbon Frontiers 2024, host David Greely introduces listeners to the industry experts, analysts and leaders who have supported carbon's forward-moving progress to better understand how they are learning from the mistakes of the past, adapting to the realities of the present, and developing the markets, technologies, and strategies for a net-zero future.

North America Climate Summit 2023

At this September’s Climate Week in New York City, SmarterMarkets™ and Base Carbon partnered with IETA to interview a wide-range of carbon market participants. During this pivotal year in carbon markets, we wanted to discuss their perspectives on where we are and what we need to do next to harness the power of markets to make net-zero possible.

SmarterMarkets™ host David Greely sat down with these guests to talk about how carbon markets support their strategy for climate action; how this year’s challenges to operationalize the Article 6 markets, as well as this year’s challenges to the reputation and growth of the voluntary carbon markets, are affecting their strategies; and what they see as the most important ideas being discussed at the Climate Summit this year.
