New partnership to advance gender-responsive approaches in high-integrity carbon markets

The Integrity Council for the Voluntary Carbon Market and Social Development Direct signed a partnership agreement to advance gender-responsive approaches and safeguarding in high-integrity carbon markets. The collaboration will combine ICVCM’s experience in establishing the Core Carbon Principles with SDDirect’s expertise in gender equality, disability and social inclusion, including perspectives from the Global South. The organisations will undertake joint thought leadership, stakeholder engagement and knowledge-sharing activities, including a gender-focused blog series, webinars and in-person events. These activities will examine the benefits of inclusion, practical approaches to addressing gender and safeguarding risks, and the collection and use of disaggregated data. The partnership aims to strengthen the integrity, effectiveness and equity of carbon markets and help ensure that climate finance delivers meaningful benefits for women and other underrepresented groups.
