By Stephen Donofrio, Patrick Maguire, Steve Zwick, William Merry, Jordan Wildish, and Kim Myers

Building upon the first installment of the State of the Voluntary Carbon Markets 2020, this second installment presents additional Ecosystem Marketplace data and analysis in light of recent recommendations from the Institute of International Finance’s Taskforce on Scaling Voluntary Carbon Markets to provide insights into:

• The ways EM data can inform this price discovery going forward.
