ABOUT NACW

The Climate Action Reserve is pleased to present the North American Carbon World (NACW) conference. Formerly the Navigating the American Carbon World conference, the event is being presented under a new name, but will continue to address the most pressing issues in climate policy and carbon markets to the largest gathering of climate professionals in North America. NACW features comprehensive and up-to-date information, key thought-leaders advancing innovative climate solutions, and the best networking opportunities with colleagues in the business, government, nonprofit, and academic sectors.

In its sixteenth consecutive year, NACW 2018 will explore the momentum and progress of subnational and international climate policy, carbon markets, and climate finance. By understanding emerging and dynamic trends  and building collaborative relationships with an expansive network of climate professionals, attendees will learn how to successfully meet the challenge of a carbon-constrained economy. For all of these reasons and more, NACW has long been considered the must-attend event of the year for climate policy and carbon markets.

ABOUT THE CLIMATE ACTION RESERVE

The Climate Action Reserve is a pioneer in carbon accounting and the most experienced, trusted, and efficient offset registry to serve the carbon markets. With deep roots in California and a reach across North America, the Reserve encourages actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and works to ensure environmental benefit, integrity, and transparency in market-based solutions to address global climate change. It operates the largest accredited registry for the California compliance market and has played an integral role in the development and administration of the state’s cap-and-trade program. For the voluntary market, the Reserve establishes high quality standards for carbon offset projects, oversees independent third-party verification bodies and issues and tracks the transaction of carbon credits (Climate Reserve Tonnes) generated from such projects in a transparent, publicly-accessible system.

Drawing from this experience and knowledge in creating and encouraging regulatory-quality standards for greenhouse gas assessment, the Reserve expanded its work into the arena of assessing the climate impact of projects financed by investments. Its Climate Impact Score program quantifies the greenhouse gas impact of investments and supports the growth of investments that positively impact the environment.

The Climate Action Reserve is a private 501(c)3 nonprofit organization headquartered in Los Angeles, California.
