The carbon market has no shortage of complexity. It has a shortage of communication.

Carbon markets bring together science, finance, policy, technology and communities. That complexity is unavoidable. The failure to explain it is not.

Too much of the market’s most important work remains hidden behind technical language, institutional silos and conversations that never reach a wider audience.

Our Managing Partner, Rene Velasquez, created Carbon Exposure and This Week in Carbon to help change that. These platforms give the people building carbon markets a place to discuss the good, the bad and the ugly — openly, intelligently and without a sales pitch.

Carbon Exposure

Sometimes, after a great conversation, you wish you could replay it just to experience it again. That’s the feeling we recreate at the Carbon Exposure Podcast: honest, thought-provoking exchanges between experts, over drinks, about the ideas shaping carbon markets.

Carbon Exposure began with a simple idea from our Managing Partner, Rene Velasquez: take the industry’s brightest minds out of the conference panel and give them the time, setting and freedom for a real conversation.

Filmed in a high-production studio environment over cocktails and mocktails, each episode is an intimate one-to-one discussion with someone helping shape the market. The format moves beyond announcements and rehearsed talking points to explore the experiences, disagreements, failures and ideas behind their work.

This Week in Carbon

Carbon Exposure struck a nerve. It revealed a clear appetite for honest, substantive conversations about carbon markets and the people working within them.

But the physical format created an unavoidable limitation. Studios, film crews and production schedules meant that Carbon Exposure could feature only around 12 to 15 guests each season. There were far more people doing important work and far more stories that deserved to be told.

Recognising that limitation, This Week in Carbon was born. TWIC is a weekly virtual platform that brings more voices into the conversation.

The format allows participants to join from across the world. It enables the discussion to respond to the market in real time and creates room for a much broader range of projects, perspectives and experiences.
