Global standards for carbon accounting: How the right frameworks and incentives can accelerate business action?

To achieve the targets set in the Paris Agreement a radical transformation of the world’s food and land use systems is required. As we progress through the UN Decade of Restoration, companies are embracing opportunities to conserve and restore forests and natural ecosystems in the landscapes they source from. However, there is a need for carbon accounting rules that incentivise the right company actions and interventions. 

 

In this session, we’ll assess how carbon accounting frameworks can incentivise (and disincentivise) specific company actions. We’ll discuss how rules are evolving and how the right framework can ensure impact, speed and scale are at the forefront of company decision making.
