World Business Council for Sustainable Development
Tuesday 5th December 2023

Businesses play an integral role in natural climate solutions, channeling finance to projects and programs that support climate, nature and people through the voluntary carbon market (VCM). Through a conversation between government and businesses, the challenges and solutions for businesses engaged in the VCM will be teased out. The session will showcase corporate success stories, illustrating what motivates businesses to engage in the VCM, exploring both economic and environmental incentives and giving an understanding of the strategic importance of businesses adopting sustainable practices. Finally, the session will highlight the support available for businesses, the different roles that various actors, including communities on the ground, play in helping them, and the vision for the future.
