For 21 years, NACW has been North America’s premier event to learn, collaborate, and network on carbon markets and climate policy.
NACW is an annual conference that aims to provide climate professionals with access to the latest on carbon markets and climate policy with a focus on the Americas.
NACW 2024 will present the content, community and connections it has been known for, but it will do so in a new environment that represents the evolution of the conference and our space. Attendees will see changes to the program, onsite experience and networking. It’s unquestionable that our carbon and climate policy community has been growing by leaps and bounds, and we welcome old friends and new to join us for this unrivaled and invaluable event for advancing climate solutions.

Registry Collaboration
The session will explore how standards can work collectively to promote knowledge exchange and best practices among market participants and national governments.
In December 2023, the world’s largest carbon registries signed an agreement to collectively increase the impact of their activities and support host countries in their work to achieve their NDCs outlined in the Paris Agreement, as well as foster innovation, promote knowledge exchange and facilitate the dissemination of best practices among participating countries. Some of the registries actually have collaborated together on an ad-hoc basis for years. What lies ahead for future, formal collaboration and what can the registries advance together?

SDGs at the Project Level
This panel will discuss how carbon projects can contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals, the challenges involved in properly accounting for them, and other impediments to quantifying and monetising SDGs at the project level.
In addition to addressing climate impacts, carbon projects are increasingly focusing on how they can also address the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This session will discuss how carbon projects can address these concerns, the challenges involved in properly accounting for them, and other impediments to quantifying and monetizing SDGs at the project level.
