Recently, Calyx Global co-founder Donna Lee was interviewed by Christiane Weihe of eco@work to discuss her journey in the carbon market space and her outlook on the trajectory of the carbon markets.
In her conversation with eco@work, Donna shares insights into the quality and credibility crisis facing the voluntary carbon market. Despite the hurdles, Donna emphasizes that high-quality carbon credits do exist and discusses the significant strides being made to enhance market integrity. As Donna notes, "The voluntary carbon market is a complex and sometimes very peculiar ecosystem. But I see the market maturing [...] I also see businesses taking climate change seriously and therefore investing in climate projects early on to ensure greenhouse gas integrity and high-quality sustainable development impacts."
