SINGAPORE, April 4, 2024 – Singapore is gearing up to host the prestigious 2024 Ecosperity Conference, focusing on rejuvenating nature and bolstering carbon markets.
Set to unfold from April 15 to 17, the conference aims to convene a diverse array of stakeholders, including policymakers and industry titans, to explore groundbreaking strategies in the fight against climate change and the preservation of biodiversity.
A standout feature of the event will be a dedicated day discussing the pivotal role of nature and private investment in carbon projects to combat climate change. This discussion couldn’t come at a more crucial juncture, given the escalating doubts surrounding the efficacy of nature-based decarbonization solutions and ongoing environmental conservation efforts.
Concerns arose last year when allegations surfaced that forest conservation initiatives had exaggerated carbon credits to companies, misrepresenting their environmental impact and causing a significant retreat from the burgeoning carbon market.
In response to these challenges, conference panelists will delve into the necessity for businesses to embrace nature-based solutions. They will underscore the advantages of backing high-quality offsetting projects and exchange insights on navigating the evolving landscape of nature-related financial disclosures.
With an impressive lineup of speakers and industry frontrunners, Ecosperity 2024 is poised to be a transformative event, igniting proactive measures and fostering innovation in environmental conservation.
Ecosperity 2024 will feature distinguished representatives from leading carbon project registries such as Verra and Gold Standard, alongside figures from the Voluntary Carbon Markets Integrity Initiative (VCMI) and the Integrity Council for Voluntary Carbon Markets (ICVCM). Joining them will be project developers and global financial regulators.
By hosting this event, Singapore not only aims to elevate awareness about the critical importance of preserving nature but also seeks to forge invaluable connections and alliances that can accelerate progress towards a more environmentally conscious future on a global scale.
