The water sector produces 10 percent of global emissions while at the same time, billions of people face water insecurity. While water management is typically a local challenge, the voluntary carbon market (VCM), offers the potential to provide new sources of recurring revenue to create a sustainable, performance-based funding stream to incentivize safe water and sanitation management services globally.
The total global potential for carbon credits could result in investments of more than $160 billion over the next decade toward improving global water security.
This hosted reception will introduce the global water community to the potential resources offered by the voluntary carbon market investors and buyers.
