RBIs public event very informative

RBI’s public event on March 27th delivered invaluable insights to its 25 participants and garnered high praise. Thomas Leneveu (Tarkett) and Jop Weterings (McKinsey) exemplified how REDD+ can be integrated in corporate strategies, spotlighting the dynamic evolution of the voluntary carbon market (VCM). They underscored that critique should not impede market progress but rather catalyze regulation for transparency and growth of the market.

Jennica Gordon (WBCSD) elaborated on the NCS Alliance’s global endeavors to fortify the VCM in collaboration with RBI. Vera Olgers (Ministry EZK) elucidated the “Joint Statement on the VCM”, a significant governmental initiative of The Netherlands aimed at enhancing market structure and advancing climate goals. The statement, endorsed by seven EU countries including Germany and France, was unveiled during COP 28 in Dubai.

RBI has warmly embraced the Statement and joined the Good Climate Practice initiative, urging Minister Jetten to collaborate with companies already dedicated to the same objective. The initiative’s call and commitment declaration will be presented to Minister Jetten on May 16th.
