SIDE EVENT

Gold Standard at COP29

Margaret Kim will participate as a panellist in an event organised by the World Bank’s Multilateral Guarantee Investment Agency (MIGA), launching a new Letter of Authorisation template to support standardisation and de-risk Article 6 transactions.  

High-integrity carbon markets have the potential to deliver an impactful triple bottom-line – imperative climate action, development outcomes, and private capital mobilization.  Unfortunately, these markets are suffering from a significant trust deficit. For over 30 years, MIGA’s guarantees have bred trust. Join us for the launch of MIGA’s Letter of Authorization template, a public good for securing insurability rights and standardizing host government commitments to investors.
