As recently seen with the United States' Emissions Reductions Act and A Made-in-Canada Plan, public policy and market-based instruments are incentivized levers for systematic change. Shannon Joseph points out the consensus within businesses to be environmentally and socially responsible, highlighting that these aspects are reported in shareholder meetings. She discusses the effectiveness of incentives and compares countries' approaches to policy implementation. Joseph advocates for the utilization of positive incentives to encourage market-driven development aligned with environmental goals, emphasizing the need for jurisdictions to adopt strategies that accelerate sustainable solutions. #methanereduction #MELA #methaneemissions #methaneregulations #oilandgasindustry

One step to move on to more clear rules on carbon markets

In the wake of recent media and NGO coverage calling into question the integrity and credibility of the voluntary carbon offset markets, along with increased regulatory scrutiny of corporate “net zero” and “carbon neutral” claims in jurisdictions around the world, AB 1305 creates new disclosure requirements for voluntary carbon offset market participants and other business entities that operate within the state and make certain specified climate-related claims. #TheEnvironmentalLawFirm #GHG #GHGEmissions #California

It’s 2024 and an opportunity to review pertinent new legislation for companies across the globe. Up first this year is California’s AB1305 Voluntary Carbon Market Disclosures Act (VCMDA).  Effective January 1, 2024, entities operating in California that 1) sell or market carbon offsets, 2) purchase offsets for neutrality purposes, and/or 3) claim carbon neutrality, net zero, or significant GHG emissions reductions with or without offsets will be required to list additional disclosures on their website.   How would this affect your business? Read on for our primer on this latest legislation and suggested action steps on our News and Events page.  #ThoughtLeadership

Getting this area of regulation right is critical. Question is, how do governments set up independent oversight & trust (and balance marketing compliance vs financial market level regulation)? @Martin Söndergaard #carbonmarkets #carbonoffsets #carbonpricing #carbontax #cbam #carbonfee #regulation #climatecrisis #vcm #communities #justtransition #globalsouth #transparency #climateaction #globalregulation #carbonaccounting #ghgprotocol #issb #emissions #socialimpact #environmentalimpact https://lnkd.in/e4XEJMPR
