High-Integrity Carbon Removals as an Emerging Asset Class
The session aims to provide an objective, investor-focused overview of how the carbon removal market is evolving, what asset owners need to understand about integrity and supply constraints, and how capital can support projects that generate climate impact alongside biodiversity and community co-benefits. A central question the session will explore is the role high-integrity carbon removals can play in addressing residual emissions within net-zero investment strategies.
