- Registries of the future must be grounded in science to ensure lasting, positive climate impact.
- Buyers need to know registries are working on their behalf to unlock offtakes.
- Only with such registries can all players in the ecosystem work together to meet these challenges, rebuild trust in carbon markets, and help carbon removal scale.

Thursday 23rd May
Morning
08:10 - Breakfast Briefing: Recommendations to Increase Natural Ecosystem Restoration Projects and Impacts
Buyers of carbon credits on the voluntary carbon market (VCM) are increasingly seeking high-quality projects that benefit biodiversity and ecological restoration beyond climate change mitigation.
While stand-out projects that advance both do exist, relatively few projects today meet this bar. Consequently, buyers can find it difficult to identify and evaluate projects that promote multifaceted outcomes. In this session, panellists will explore:
- The types of nature-based projects best suited to deliver benefits across climate and nature.
- The barriers to ecosystem restoration in the VCM and strategies for how buyers can help overcome them.

Is the summit streamed/ available digitally?
We believe nothing can replace the value of in-person meetings and sitting behind a screen for hours on-end hinders creativity and focus. Taking place in the heart of New York City, we've made the decision to do away with virtual streaming. Get out from behind your desk and come away energized, with the connections and insights you need to take your project to the next level.
