Senior Director, Certification at Verra
REDD+ and the Voluntary Carbon Market
Deforestation currently contributes 12 to 20% of global greenhouse gas emissions, and addressing it is critical to mitigating climate change. Julie will address the carbon crediting paradigm for reducing emissions from deforestation and degradation (REDD). Her organization, Verra, is a mission-driven nonprofit organization that uses standards, among them the Verified Carbon Standard, to drive finance to projects that credibly and transparently advance environmental change across the globe. Over the past few years, Verra has worked with the Clark Center for Geospatial Analytics on developing jurisdictional risk maps and the allocation model for our pioneering REDD methodology.
