“Digital Transformation in Carbon Markets: The Asian Perspective on Infrastructure and Integration”

As global urgency to reduce GHG emissions rises, the significance of robust carbon markets becomes evident. Transparent and accountable carbon markets are essential in helping governments and corporations advance towards a low-carbon future. However, the impact of transactions within carbon markets on global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions will be meaningful only if these emissions reductions are real and credible, and accurately accounted and tracked. To bolster transparency and efficiency, stakeholders from Asia are leading the charge in developing digital infrastructure for an end-to-end digital ecosystem that will underpin the post-2020 carbon markets under the Paris Agreement. The plenary will explore the evolution and role of digital infrastructure in carbon markets and spotlight its use cases. It will engage pivotal stakeholders responsible for shaping transparent and efficient carbon markets both in Asia and globally.
