CAD Trust is pleased to announce the appointment of 14 new members to the User Forum for the 2025–2027 term.
The User Forum acts as a market sounding board for the Council and the Technical Committee, providing diverse perspectives on business, policy and technical matters that support the development of trusted carbon market infrastructure. The Forum comprises market practitioners and users of the data to advise on additional functionality and use.
This term’s new members bring expertise spanning carbon ratings, policy development, technical infrastructure, project development, and climate finance. Together with our continuing members, they will contribute to identifying use cases, providing feedback on data models and product suitability, and ensuring the Forum remains responsive to the evolving needs of carbon market participants.
Membership in the User Forum is designed on a two-year overlapping basis to balance continuity with fresh perspectives. Newly appointed members will serve until June 2027, while current members will continue their term until June 2026.
