Can DMRV Increase the Value of Carbon Credits and Raise Prices?

• Tuesday, September 19
• 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm (EDT)

Digital innovations can improve the reliability, efficiency, and credibility of Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (MRV) activities. They are emerging as key drivers to scaling carbon markets with integrity and can increase the value of carbon credits. This panel session explores how Digital MRV systems can provide a higher degree of assurance to investments being made in carbon projects. Will Digital MRV increase trust between actors in carbon markets? And can it lead to price premiums?
