Litigation and Carbon Market Presentation with Disclosure Risk Covered
The temperature goals of the Paris Agreement cannot be met without sustained and scaled carbon removals, reductions, and avoidance, including through nature-based climate solutions. Carbon markets remain one of the most cost-effective and efficient means to reduce emissions and meet corporate net-zero targets. Similarly, nature as an asset is entering the mainstream as governments and organizations such as the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures seek to address the global biodiversity crisis. This presentation will provide an overview of carbon markets, explore the risks associated with climate litigation and greenwashing in the context of broader legislative and regulatory oversight, and discuss the role of climate- and nature-related corporate disclosures in Canada.
