Some experts are calling 2024 the “make or break year” for the voluntary and compliance carbon markets, which were rocked by a shaky 2023. To usher in a new era of effective and impactful carbon markets, the verification process needs a major tech update and a serious credibility boost.

Marion Verles is a climate and sustainable development entrepreneur who has dedicated her career to the transformation of our economic system. She is the Co-Founder and CEO of SustainCERT, a climate impact verifier on a mission to bring credibility to climate action. Marion was previously CEO of the Gold Standard Foundation and founder of Nexus Carbon for Development. She holds a Masters in European Business from EDHEC business school and a degree in Public Administration from Ecole Nationale d’Administration.

“We need to change the communications and talk about climate contribution rather than carbon neutrality...You should buy carbon credits as a corporate, to take responsibility for your unavoidable and unabated emissions. But dont talk about carbon neutrality. Talk about your climate finance contribution, your climate contribution, your contribution to the one and a half degree world."
