Executive Conference Room
Executive Conference
While Carbon Markets hold immense promise and have a pivotal role in accelerating the energy transition the interplay between voluntary and compliance markets and challenges including fragmentation and the lack of standardised crediting mechanisms can undermine both credibility and effectiveness. Given the huge opportunities in this emerging sector how can Suriname assist in breaking down barriers and driving uptake for these markets to effectively support global climate goals? How does Suriname unlock new revenue streams and utilise its carbon market to help maintain its carbon negative status amongst accelerating economic growth and development.
