Carbon Connection (Climate Action Reserve)

With the global expansion of the voluntary carbon market, efforts have increased to ensure it is equipped to play a critical role in global mitigation efforts. This has led to a variety of efforts to support this market, including the Integrity Council on the Voluntary Carbon Market (ICVCM), the Voluntary Carbon Market Initiative (VCMI), and the Carbon Credit Quality Initiative (CCQI), among others. This episode will discuss with Amy Zell, Technical Director, Voluntary Carbon Markets with the International Emissions Trading Association (IETA), the role each of these efforts are playing, the challenges they are facing to support credible market efforts going forward, and expectations from various market players.

As companies and jurisdictions strive to meet their climate goals, carbon credits are an important tool to address their current carbon footprint while they work on reducing that footprint size. How does the VCM ensure these credits being used are of high quality and integrity? How do buyers know carbon credits benefit our environment and truly contribute to ambitious climate goals, as well as ensure projects provide positive economic and social benefits? In this episode, Alexia Kelly, Managing Director of the Carbon Policy and Markets Initiative (CPMI) at the High Tide Foundation will discuss how carbon credit buyers can be empowered to identify high-quality credits and lead the market toward pursuing the highest standards.

Through 2023 compliance markets in North America remain important tools for reducing emissions, gathering financing to support other climate change options, and reaching climate change goals.

The Climate Action Reserve’s Latin America and Caribbean (LAC) program has experienced significant growth and development over the past years. In this episode, we sit down with Amy Kessler, the Reserve’s Director of Latin America, to explore key updates on this expansion, including new partnerships and emerging opportunities in the region. We’ll delve into what makes a carbon project successful in LAC, discuss the positive impacts these initiatives are having on local communities and ecosystems, and look ahead to what’s next for the program.

The term “ozone depleting substances” refers to a large group of chemicals known to destroy the stratospheric ozone layer when released into the atmosphere. ODS were historically used in a wide variety of applications including refrigerants, foam blowing agents, solvents, and fire suppressants. In addition to their potency, ODS exhibit high global warming potentials (GWP), ranging from several hundred to several thousand times that of carbon dioxide. Next up in Carbon Connection, Associate Director of Programs Holly Davison reviews Climate Action Reserve’s U.S. Ozone Depleting Substances Protocol, including how it operates under the State of California’s compliance Cap-and-Trade Program. Tune in as Holly highlights the climate benefits brought to the global community by destroying ODS permanently and the offset credit generation potential from ODS projects under Climate Action Reserve.

When it comes to offsets, additionality means above business as usual. But how is additionality established and why is it so important to the carbon market? In this ‘Covering Your Basics’ episode, join Business Development Manager Lauren Wilson as she explains the concept of additionality, ways to test for it, and how it is incorporated into each of Climate Action Reserve’s protocols.

Mangrove forests are critical to addressing climate change due to the ecosystem services they provide. Mangroves create habitat for fisheries and diverse flora and fauna, act as a natural barrier to storms, and prevent runoff or soil erosion, in addition to their significant carbon sequestration potential. In this inaugural episode of Carbon Connection, we talk to Director of Latin America, Amy Kessler about the Manglares San Crisanto/San Crisanto Mangroves project, the Climate Action Reserve’s first ever mangrove offset project registered through the Mexico Forest Protocol, and the significance it will have on the local ejido community. To learn more about mangrove forests and their importance to ecosystems, please check out the Climate Action Reserve’s infographic.

Latin America is a critical region for the global carbon market as one of the largest suppliers of voluntary credits. At the same time, a number of countries are forging ahead with government-backed offset protocols, national ETS, or other carbon pricing schemes. Hear from Eduardo Piquero, CEO of MexiCO2, on the advances of carbon markets across the region.

Since 2008, Climate Action Reserve has worked closely with actors across Mexico – including government agencies, NGOs, and ejido communities – to develop protocols that generate high quality offsets and comply with the Reserve’s rigorous standards, while further aligning those protocols with the laws, norms, and on the ground conditions in Mexico. The Mexico Forest Protocol was developed in partnership with these stakeholders as an instrument to channel resources into the forest sector in Mexico, especially as 70% of all forests in Mexico are on communally owned lands. For the second time around, we are thrilled to feature Director of Latin America Amy Kessler as she reviews the recently updated Mexico Forest Protocol and its ability to incentivize activities that increase sequestration and long-term carbon storage, while further providing greater environmental and social benefits to ejidos. Amy also discusses what has made the Reserve’s collaborative work in Mexico successful and what the near-term future holds.

Initiative 2117 (I-2117) on the Washington state ballot could fundamentally alter the state’s approach to climate policy. I-2117 seeks to prohibit state agencies from implementing any form of carbon tax credit trading, including cap-and-trade/invest programs, and would repeal significant portions of the landmark 2021 Washington Climate Commitment Act. In this episode, we’re joined by Isaac Kastama, Managing Partner of Water Street Public Affairs LLC and who lobbies on behalf of Clean & Prosperous Washington, and Tom Wolf, bp America’s Senior Government Relations Manager, U.S. West Coast. Together we will explore potential consequences of the initiative, what it means for Washington’s climate goals and investments, and the broader question – should this measure become law? Whether you’re following the initiative closely or just tuning in, this episode will provide an in-depth look at a pivotal moment for climate policy in Washington and beyond.

In 2021, the Washington Legislature passed the Climate Commitment Act, which established the state’s cap-and-invest program. The program is one important tool for the state in achieving its greenhouse gas limits set by law: 45% below 1990 levels by 2030, 70% below 1990 levels by 2040, and 95% below 1990 levels and net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. In this episode, join Claire Boyte-White, who leads Cap-and-Invest Policy Relations with the Washington Department of Ecology, as we explore the ins and outs of Washington's ambitious cap-and-invest program, including auctions held thus far, carbon project development opportunities, and more.

Cuando se trata de compensaciones de GEI, la adicionalidad significa estar por encima de lo habitual. Pero, ¿cómo se establece la adicionalidad y por qué es tan importante para el mercado de carbono? En este episodio de 'Cubriendo los aspectos básicos', la Asociada Abbey Garcia nos explicará el concepto de adicionalidad, las formas de comprobarla y cómo se incorpora a cada uno de los protocolos de la Reserva de Acción Climática.

Forests cover 31% of land on our planet. As a natural carbon sink, they provide a solution to climate change by sequestering and storing carbon directly from the atmosphere. However, when a forest is disturbed through natural events and human-based activities such as wildfire, disease, agricultural clearing, or logging, they emit carbon instead of absorbing, jeopardizing the critical role they play in climate mitigation. In this episode of Carbon Connection, Associate Director of Nature-Based Solutions Jon Remucal reviews our Climate Forward Reforestation Forecast Methodology and provides guidance on how to facilitate reforestation activities that can accelerate the re-growth of healthy forests. By conducting reforestation activities through the recently updated Reforestation Forecast Methodology, actors can do so in an economically feasible manner that provides upfront financial support for implementing a reforestation project. Actors also have a path for transferring the Climate Forward Credit, Forecasted Mitigation Units (FMUs) to the Reserve’s voluntary offset program under a corresponding forest protocol for issuance of Climate Reserve Tonnes (CRTs).

Initiatives are underway to address integrity and scale in the voluntary carbon market (VCM).
