NextBillion - An Initiative of the William Davidson Institute at the University of Michigan

Carbon markets offer significant opportunities for financing climate action in emerging markets, with projects featuring gender co-benefits commanding 78% higher price premiums. However, women – who produce 60-80% of food in developing countries and show higher adoption rates of green technologies – face substantial barriers to participation. These include limited land rights, restricted financial access, and time poverty, with women spending 2.8 more hours daily on unpaid care work than men. This webinar examines how financial services and standardized approaches to measuring gender outcomes can create more inclusive carbon projects. Leading practitioners from across the carbon market ecosystem will share insights and practical examples of how innovative financing and impact measurement drive greater inclusion while enhancing project value.
