The Gold Standard Foundation 76d ago

RECORDED 14 APRIL 2026 The carbon market is entering a new phase of development as actors across the ecosystem prepare for evolving integrity expectations, Paris Agreement alignment and new approaches to scaling climate action. This webinar explored how the next generation of carbon markets is emerging — one that combines strong integrity frameworks with improved accessibility and the ability to scale high-impact climate solutions. Gold Standard presented an overview of key developments shaping the market, including Paris Alignment, new methodologies, digital MRV innovations and evolving market infrastructure, as well as efforts to improve access to markets for project developers and suppliers. The session then brought together voices from across the carbon market ecosystem — including project developers, verification bodies, policy actors, civil society and independent experts — to discuss how these changes are influencing project development, verification processes and demand signals. This webinar is designed for project developers, VVBs, corporate sustainability leaders, intermediaries and policy observers seeking to understand how the carbon market is evolving and how to prepare for the next phase of development.
