Can Carbon Project Actually Be Community-Led?

Carbon markets are booming and failing, yet too often they fail to deliver for the very people whose lands and lives are most affected. Many projects risk reinforcing extractive models that overlook community priorities, weaken local governance, and sideline justice and equity.

This session asks a critical question: Can carbon projects actually be community-led?

Hear from communities and frontline actors who are already leading efforts to align conservation and climate finance with their own visions for the future.

Unwind for the Earth: An Evening of Relaxed Climate Conversation

In the rush of panels and meetings, it can be hard to find space for open, unhurried conversations. This evening is designed to do just that, a chance to pause, connect, and reflect together on the work ahead.

We’ll be bringing together people from across the climate and conservation community to share ideas, experiences, and energy in a more informal setting. We are hoping to create space to build real connections that help us collaborate better and carry forward concrete objectives as a collective.
