“The VCM gives us a platform to mobilize billions of dollars of private capital into carbon-reducing projects across the globe, but for the VCM to succeed and reach its true global potential, transparency and quality must be at the heart of those projects,” said Richard H. Lawrence, Jr., author of the book. “I hope that readers are inspired by the stories of the individuals combating climate change across the globe, and that this book can help to outline what is needed to scale the VCM so that it furthers the work of those people for the benefit of our planet.”
