Toucan Twitter Spaces – Season 2

Carbon markets are an important piece of the puzzle to addressing climate change. But there are many issues: A lack of industry-wide standards, credits with low integrity, and hard-to-access-marketplaces are some of the key challenges that need to be addressed.

In Season 2 of our Toucan Twitter Spaces, we chat with the innovators, the builders and stakeholders working on improving our current carbon markets and carbon standards. Here’s what we will cover in the next five spaces.

And lastly, we will be looking at how blockchains can help with strengthening integrity for carbon credits.
