Overview
This introductory workshop is designed for professionals and businesses with little or no prior knowledge of carbon markets who want to understand how these mechanisms work and why they matter. With carbon markets increasingly shaping global climate strategies, investor expectations, and consumer choices, this session will provide a practical foundation for private sector engagement.
Participants will gain insights into how carbon markets operate, the opportunities they create, and the key considerations for businesses looking to participate—whether as buyers, users, or project developers.
What You Will Learn
- Introduction & Context: What carbon markets are, the difference between compliance and voluntary systems, and why they are becoming essential for businesses.
- Types of Carbon Markets: Compliance frameworks versus voluntary carbon markets (VCM), global integrity standards (ICPs), and a closer look at Thailand’s domestic T-VER scheme.
- Opportunities for Businesses: How companies can engage as project developers or buyers, the distinction between insetting and offsetting, and the added value for branding, sustainability reporting, and investor relations.
- Article 6 of the Paris Agreement: An overview of Articles 6.2 and 6.4, the UNFCCC framework, and how Thailand is preparing for international carbon credit transfers.
- Case Studies: Real-world examples of carbon projects and business strategies for engagement.
- Standards, Integrity & Risks: Exploring leading global standards (VCS, Gold Standard, Social Carbon, Plan Vivo), key market concepts like additionality and permanence, and business risks such as reputational exposure and regulatory changes.
