Andrea Maggiani, founder and CEO of Carbonsink: "Our side event will focus on the potential of the voluntary carbon credits market in Italy in order to propose possible guidelines. The development of this market will be analyzed both as a tool to introduce technologies and innovations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, to accelerate sustainable development on a local and global scale. During the event, case studies will be presented highlighting the social impacts and international collaborations of the "FairCarbon" projects, the first online platform for exchanging certified voluntary carbon credits in Italy."
The event will be held at the UN Conference on Climate Change (Paris, 30 Nov-11 Dec) and represents an historic opportunity to put the world on the right path to address the challenge of climate change with an international protocol that follows a new model of sustainable, durable and beneficial development for everyone.
