This workshop will introduce participants to the differences between avoided emissions and removals and how they are used in distinct ways to fulfill carbon neutrality and net zero reduction goals. We will discuss which removals qualify for the new Science-Based Targets Initiative Net Zero Guidance and the future removals demand due to corporate pledges and supply from offset project developers. The workshop will give participants timely updates on the status of removals breakouts in revised offset methodologies and how these removals will appear on public registries. A particular focus will be given to the North American Improved Forest Management project pipeline and how these projects fit into the new removals definitions.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nThe first portion of the session will be a presentation on the current state of the market and registries, followed by small group discussions to better understand what factors each participant views as critical to continued development of the market.  The session will cover forestry, grasslands, and regenerative agriculture projects, as well as some emerging project types like direct air capture and blue carbon, and will present analysis and market updates affecting each of these project types. Attendees will hear from industry, carbon standards, and offset developers and will come away with a clear picture of the nature-based markets, with a focus on North America, as well as the most current updates likely to affect the near-term development of the market.<\/p>\n                                                        <\/div>\r\n                                                    <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                            <\/div>\r\n                                        <\/div>\r\n                                    <\/div>\r\n                                <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                            <div style=\"background-color: #FFFFFF;\" class=\"row scheduled-event event-collapsed event-hidden event-20220406-6\" data-event=\"event-20220406-6\" data-date=\"2022-04-06\" data-location=\"\">\r\n                                    <div class=\"col-xs-12\">\r\n                                        <div class=\"row\">\r\n                                                                                        <div class=\"col-sm-2 col-xs-12 vcenter \">\r\n                                                                                                    <div class=\"imgContainer center-block text-center\">\r\n                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        <img class=\"img-responsive center-block \" alt=\"Navigating the Energy Transition image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nacwconference.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/workshop-buttons-2021-latham-90x90.png\" \/>\r\n                                                                                                            <\/div>\r\n                                                                                            <\/div><div class=\"col-sm-9 col-xs-10 vcenter\">\r\n                                                <div class=\"row\">\r\n                                                                                                            <div class=\"col-xs-12 visible-xs event-time\" style=\"color: ;\">\r\n                                                            <span class=\"time-starts\">13:00<\/span>\r\n                                                                                                                            - <span class=\"time-ends\">16:30<\/span>\r\n                                                                                                                    <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                        <div class=\"col-xs-12 event-title\" style=\"color: ;\">Navigating the Energy Transition<\/div>\r\n                                                <\/div>\r\n                                            <\/div><div class=\"col-xs-2 col-sm-1 vcenter\">\r\n                                                <div class=\"event-icon pull-right\">\r\n                                                    <i class=\"tcode-ico-grot-down\" data-state=\"collapsed\" style=\"color: ;\"><\/i>\r\n                                                <\/div>\r\n                                            <\/div>\r\n                                        <\/div>\r\n                                        <div class=\"row event-excerpt\">\r\n                                            <div class=\"col-xs-12\">\r\n                                                                                                    <div class=\"row event-content\">\r\n                                                        <div class=\"col-sm-10 col-sm-offset-2 col-xs-12\" style=\"color: ;\">\r\n                                                            <p>Host: Latham &#038; Watkins<br \/>\nRoom: Anabella Ballroom C<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nClimate considerations will play a crucial role as companies navigate the energy transition.

Prices almost doubled, we have started to see relatively large daily price changes that would maybe have occurred on an annual basis before. Why? In one word: investors.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nWe know financial positions currently, and how they&#8217;ve impacted the market, but how will they impact future volatility, how will they connect CCAs more deeply with a raft of other global assets and dynamics, how long will investors dominate this market and what returns are they after, and under what conditions might they leave?<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nThe answers to these questions will define the WCI market for the next five years.

He oversees the organization\u2019s continued leadership and commitment to ensuring offsets are a trusted and powerful economic tool for reducing emissions.  In his role, he also leads the organization in identifying and entering into other opportunities that build upon the its knowledge and expertise and further its work under its mission and vision.<\/p>\n<p>During his career, he has helped create the foundations for international, national and state policies to address climate change. He supported U.S. negotiations on international climate change agreements, including negotiations leading up to the creation and signing of the Kyoto Protocol, and helped develop the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) and Joint Implementation (JI) provisions under the protocol. Craig\u2019s work also involved pioneering efforts on carbon accounting principles and methodologies. He served as the technical director of Estimation of Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Sinks, which was adopted by the IPCC as its GHG Inventory Programme, and was a key architect behind the development of the official U.S. national GHG inventory to meet commitments under the UNFCCC.<\/p>\n<p>Prior to joining the Reserve, Craig advised the Western Climate Initiative (WCI) and served at ICF for nearly 34

overseeing its growth from a small nonprofit to one of the world\u2019s most influential environmental organizations, with more than 750 employees in the United States, China, Mexico and Europe and an annual budget of more than $200 million.<\/p>\n<p>As a leading voice on climate change, energy and corporate sustainability, Krupp appeared on the TED stage in 2018 to announce plans to launch MethaneSAT, a satellite that will measure and map planet-warming methane emissions from the oil and gas industry worldwide. In 2016, he played a role in the adoption of the first major bipartisan environmental legislation in two decades, the Lautenberg Chemical Safety Act, by a House vote of 203-12 and a voice vote in the Senate.<\/p>\n<p>Krupp has pioneered innovative approaches to harnessing the power of the marketplace to protect the environment and has led EDF\u2019s groundbreaking corporate partnerships with FedEx, KKR, McDonald\u2019s, Walmart and others. Most recently, he helped GM develop its plan to sell only zero-emission vehicles by 2035.<\/p>\n<p>Educated at Yale and the University of Michigan Law School, Krupp appears frequently in the media. He was named one of America\u2019s Best Leaders by U.S. News and World Report and is a recipient of the 2015 William K. Reilly Environmental Leadership Award from the Center for Environmental Policy at American University. Krupp is co-author with Miriam Horn of the New York Times bestseller Earth: The Sequel \u2013 The Race to Reinvent Energy and Stop Global Warming.<\/p>\n

As this voluntary carbon market grows, a number of initiatives are working to identify global standards to  ensure these carbon credits benefit our environment and truly contribute to ambitious climate goals, as well as ensure projects provide positive economic and social benefits. Panelists in this session will discuss the status and work of these initiatives, their desired outcomes, the impact they could have on the global market and how carbon credit buyers can be empowered to identify high-quality credits and lead the market toward pursuing the highest standards.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nSpeaker slides:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nacwconference.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/NACW-2022-Annette-Nazareth-From-Glasgow-to-Sharm-El-Sheikh-International-Climate-Action-and-Outlooks.pdf\">Annette Nazareth, Senior Counsel at Davis Polk &#038; Wardwell LLP and Chair of the Integrity Council for the Voluntary Carbon Market<\/a>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n                                                        <\/div>\r\n                                                    <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                                                                                            <div class=\"row artist-row mobile\" data-effect=\"mfp-zoom-in\">\r\n                                                            <div class=\"tcode-artist-popover hidden\">\r\n                                                                <div>\r\n                                                                    <div class=\"row\">\r\n                                                                        <div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-4\">\r\n                                                                            <div class=\"artist-image center-block\">\r\n                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        <img class=\"img-responsive center-block\" alt=\"Plenary: Driving High Quality Standards in Carbon Markets image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nacwconference.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/kelley-kizzier-1-120x120.png\" \/>\r\n                                                                                                                                                            <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                                                                                                                <\/div>\r\n                                                                        <div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-8 artist-details-container\">\r\n                                                                            <div class=\"tcode-es-artist-title\">\r\n                                                                                <a href=\"#\">\r\n                                                                                    Kelley Kizzier                                                                                <\/a>\r\n                                                                            <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                                            <div class=\"artist-position\">\r\n                                                                                    Vice President for Global Climate, Environmental Defense Fund                                                                                <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                                        <div class=\"artist-content\">\r\n                                                                                <p>Kelley Kizzier is Vice President for Global Climate at Environmental Defense Fund, where she leads EDF\u2019s work to promote more ambitious and effective global climate policy and company action with a focus on multilateral climate agreements and global cooperation through carbon markets.

She has worked on projects ranging from industrial nitrous oxide abatement to nature-based solutions such as reforestation. While Lauren\u2019s work is primarily in the voluntary carbon offset space, she also has expertise in compliance markets including California\u2019s Cap-and-Trade and Low Carbon Fuel Standard.<\/p>\n<p>Prior to joining ClimeCo, Lauren received her Master of Environmental Management in Economics and Policy at Duke University. During her time at Duke, she worked with the university\u2019s Carbon Offsets Initiative to help Duke achieve carbon neutrality and served as an Article Editor for Duke\u2019s Environmental Law and Policy Forum. Prior to Duke, Lauren earned her B.Sc. from McGill University in Biology in 2013 and worked at Chicago\u2019s Lincoln Park Zoo.<\/p>\n

With a Ph.D. in chemistry, her scientific mind always wants to know more. With an MBA from Presidio Graduate School, she believes in the power of business to transform our economy. And with her boundless curiosity and endless charm (while retaining a hint of British irony), she thrives on building long term partnerships with her clients. She\u2019s not content with just delivering what they need right now, but is always looking for the solutions they need for even greater impact and value into the future.<\/p>\n

AND LAND USE<br \/>\nRoom: Anabella Ballroom D<\/p>\n<p>Natural climate solutions can deliver up to a third of the emissions reductions needed to get to 2 degrees celsius. However, nature-based solutions present unique challenges, including land-tenure issues, permanence, and project financing. This session will explore both the big opportunity and unique challenges natural climate solutions present.<\/p>\n                                                        <\/div>\r\n                                                    <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                                                                                            <div class=\"row artist-row mobile\" data-effect=\"mfp-zoom-in\">\r\n                                                            <div class=\"tcode-artist-popover hidden\">\r\n                                                                <div>\r\n                                                                    <div class=\"row\">\r\n                                                                        <div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-4\">\r\n                                                                            <div class=\"artist-image center-block\">\r\n                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        <img class=\"img-responsive center-block\" alt=\"Big Opportunity, Big Risks: Natural Climate Solutions image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nacwconference.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Matt-Nespeca-8R4A9865-Edit-120x120.jpg\" \/>\r\n                                                                                                                                                            <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                                                                                                                <\/div>\r\n                                                                        <div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-8 artist-details-container\">\r\n                                                                            <div class=\"tcode-es-artist-title\">\r\n                                                                                <a href=\"#\">\r\n                                                                                    Matt Nespeca                                                                                <\/a>\r\n                                                                            <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                                            <div class=\"artist-position\">\r\n                                                                                    Head of Digital Business Transformation, Bayer Environmental Science                                                                                <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                                        <div class=\"artist-content\">\r\n                                                                                <p>Matt Nespeca works for Bayer Environmental Science as the head of digital business transformation, with a focus on developing new business models and new ways to create value for customers, the environment and society.

modeling, and climate change\/environmental policy development \u2013 spanning her tenure at the provincial Department of Agriculture in Alberta, then at the not-for-profit Climate Change Central, and now in the private sector. During her tenure with the province, Karen was part of the cross-governmental team that developed Alberta\u2019s Bioenergy Policy Framework, which was approved by cabinet in 2008. This framework set the stage for Alberta\u2019s Bioenergy Program administered by the Department of Energy. Karen also led ecosystem goods and service policy and program development, in concert with other federal, provincial, and territorial governments under Canada\u2019s Agriculture Policy Frameworks. In her earlier years with the provincial department of agriculture, she conducted research and studies of environmental mitigation opportunities for agriculture in air, water, soil and biodiversity<\/p>\n<p>Her most significant contribution while she worked in the public and not-for-profit sectors was her work at a national level, with federal-provincial and territorial governments on the Canadian National Offset Quantification Team (NOQT). Karen, through her capacity on the Team, designed the protocol development process, represented the agricultural sector in Canada, and coordinated the development of several agricultural quantification protocols. In 2007, Karen was seconded to Climate Change Central, a not-for-profit established by the Government of Alberta. There, Karen led the implementation of the necessary market processes, infrastructure, and tools needed to get the Alberta Carbon Offset Market off the ground. In that role, Karen and her Team leveraged the previous NOQT work to help build sound rules, platforms, science-based quantification protocols, tools, and infrastructure (e.g. registry) needed to facilitate the development of a Carbon Offset Market in Alberta.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, Karen is President of Viresco Solutions Inc. \u2013 a network of leading advisors making sustainability real for public and private clients in the agriculture, energy, and food sectors across North America and globally.

DRIVING SCALE AND INTEGRITY<br \/>\nRoom: Anabella Ballroom C<\/p>\n<p>On the global stage, California has long been a leader on climate action. Now the state&#8217;s next milestone in its Scoping Plan is to reduce GHG emissions by 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030. An often discussed tool in the state&#8217;s toolbox has been its Cap-and-Trade Program, but the state relies on many other tools to help achieve its climate goals. In this session, leaders from different state agencies discuss how their climate programs and initiatives support the state&#8217;s climate goals, how those programs have been shaped by EJ concerns and the impact they have had on disadvantaged communities so far. <\/p>\n                                                        <\/div>\r\n                                                    <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                                                                                            <div class=\"row artist-row mobile\" data-effect=\"mfp-zoom-in\">\r\n                                                            <div class=\"tcode-artist-popover hidden\">\r\n                                                                <div>\r\n                                                                    <div class=\"row\">\r\n                                                                        <div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-4\">\r\n                                                                            <div class=\"artist-image center-block\">\r\n                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        <img class=\"img-responsive center-block\" alt=\"Leading Climate Action: Meeting California&#8217;s Climate Goals and the Needs of Different Communities image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nacwconference.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Rajinder-Sahota-120x120.jpg\" \/>\r\n                                                                                                                                                            <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                                                                                                                <\/div>\r\n                                                                        <div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-8 artist-details-container\">\r\n                                                                            <div class=\"tcode-es-artist-title\">\r\n                                                                                <a href=\"#\">\r\n                                                                                    Rajinder Sahota                                                                                <\/a>\r\n                                                                            <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                                            <div class=\"artist-position\">\r\n                                                                                    Deputy Executive Officer \u2013 Climate Change & Research, California Air Resources Board                                                                                <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                                        <div class=\"artist-content\">\r\n                                                                                <p>Rajinder Sahota was appointed as the Deputy Executive Officer for Climate Change and Research in spring of 2021. She is responsible for directing CARB\u2019s scientific, technical, and policy teams as they develop and update the AB 32 Climate Change Scoping Plan to track progress and develop the pathways to achieve the state\u2019s climate targets. She also oversees the economy-wide Cap-and-Trade Program, Low Carbon Fuels Standards, energy and climate policy, fuels programs, and critical research to advance action to improve public health and environmental protection. In Rajinder\u2019s 19 year-career with CARB, she has worked on a variety of projects including analyzing data for children\u2019s health studies, evaluating strategies and their impacts to reduce harmful diesel pollution from locomotives, developing the first comprehensive greenhouse gas reporting and verification regulation, developing the 2017 Scoping Plan Update, leading the development of the first Integrated Resource Targets under SB 350 to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the electricity sector, and overseeing actions to reduce emissions from the oil and gas sector and fuels sector. She has also served as a point of contact on CARB\u2019s climate policies with other states, and subnational and international governments.<\/p>\n<p>Rajinder served as an inaugural co-chair of the Diversity and Racial Equity (DaRE) Task Force. The position helped co-lead an internally-focused effort to evaluate and remove barriers that keep the organization from being more diverse and inclusive for all. These continuing efforts will help CARB become more and responsive and effective.<\/p>\n<p>Rajinder received a B.S. and M.S. in Atmospheric Sciences from the University of California, Davis.<\/p>\n

This session will look at the potential for reforestation and what is needed to implement it in the most effective way. <\/p>\n                                                        <\/div>\r\n                                                    <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                                                                                            <div class=\"row artist-row mobile\" data-effect=\"mfp-zoom-in\">\r\n                                                            <div class=\"tcode-artist-popover hidden\">\r\n                                                                <div>\r\n                                                                    <div class=\"row\">\r\n                                                                        <div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-4\">\r\n                                                                            <div class=\"artist-image center-block\">\r\n                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        <img class=\"img-responsive center-block\" alt=\"How to Do Reforestation Right image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nacwconference.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/PJ-Marshall-photo-email-etc-06.15.2015-120x120.jpg\" \/>\r\n                                                                                                                                                            <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                                                                                                                <\/div>\r\n                                                                        <div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-8 artist-details-container\">\r\n                                                                            <div class=\"tcode-es-artist-title\">\r\n                                                                                <a href=\"#\">\r\n                                                                                    PJ Marshall                                                                                <\/a>\r\n                                                                            <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                                            <div class=\"artist-position\">\r\n                                                                                    Founder and Executive Director, Restore the Earth Foundation, Inc.                                                                                <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                                        <div class=\"artist-content\">\r\n                                                                                <p>PJ Marshall, along with her husband Marvin, founded Restore the Earth Foundation, Inc. in 2008. PJ launched the not for profit after 40 years in the private sector as a top strategic marketing consultant for leading professional services firms such as Bechtel Corporation, Halliburton, and Fulbright &#038; Jaworski LLP. Her prior not for profit experience was as a fundraiser, raising more than $50 million for organizations such as the Royal Ontario Museum, Toronto, the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, and the Houston Symphony.<\/p>\n<p>Establishing Restore the Earth in response to two disasters, Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, the largest forestry disaster in US history, PJ and Marv pioneered an initiative to bring together the private and public sectors to begin restoration of destroyed forests. These cross-sector partnerships are at the heart of the Restore the Earth strategy and business model.<\/p>\n<p>Today, Restore the Earth\u2019s private and public partnerships lead the way in landscape scale reforestation of 1 million acres, 100,000,000 native trees, in the Mississippi River Basin, \u201cNorth America\u2019s Amazon\u201d. This will generate over 200,000,000 mt CO2e in additional, permanent carbon emission reductions, having a major impact on climate change.<\/p>\n<p>Restore the Earth F is a 501 (c)(3) not for profit with the mission to restore the Earth\u2019s essential forest and wetland ecosystems at a landscape scale and using metrics (EcoMetrics) to measure the value and impact. Restore the Earth\u2019s approach ensures habitat and communities are enhanced by restoration in self-sustaining systems.<\/p>\n

Ballroom D<\/p>\n<p>Blue carbon, including mangroves, wetlands, and seagrass, can provide large emissions reductions and offer an array of environmental and social benefits, including coastal protection, fisheries habitat, and water filtration. Yet, blue carbon offsets projects are limited. This session will discuss the opportunities and challenges blue carbon projects face, including new technology and innovations that can drive new projects. <\/p>\n                                                        <\/div>\r\n                                                    <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                                                                                            <div class=\"row artist-row mobile\" data-effect=\"mfp-zoom-in\">\r\n                                                            <div class=\"tcode-artist-popover hidden\">\r\n                                                                <div>\r\n                                                                    <div class=\"row\">\r\n                                                                        <div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-4\">\r\n                                                                            <div class=\"artist-image center-block\">\r\n                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        <img class=\"img-responsive center-block\" alt=\"Offsets and New Horizons: the Unique Opportunities and Challenges for Blue Carbon image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nacwconference.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Amy-Schmid-resized-120x120.jpg\" \/>\r\n                                                                                                                                                            <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                                                                                                                <\/div>\r\n                                                                        <div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-8 artist-details-container\">\r\n                                                                            <div class=\"tcode-es-artist-title\">\r\n                                                                                <a href=\"#\">\r\n                                                                                    Amy Schmid                                                                                <\/a>\r\n                                                                            <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                                            <div class=\"artist-position\">\r\n                                                                                    Manager, Blue Carbon Innovation, Verra                                                                                <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                                        <div class=\"artist-content\">\r\n                                                                                <p>As Manager, Blue Carbon Innovation, Amy leads Verra\u2019s work on blue carbon and explores opportunities for the scaling up of nature-based innovations activities, including by engaging with the Blue Carbon Working Group and Seascape Carbon Initiative.

But there has been a fierce debate about whether these types of credits are really delivering the environmental and related benefits that are being claimed. Companies face a complex and dynamic marketplace that makes it hard to know what \u201cgood\u201d looks like when it comes to tropical forest carbon credits. In this session, NGO representatives and Indigenous Peoples will discuss why it\u2019s important to clearly identify the high-integrity tropical forest credits that drive the most impact for climate, biodiversity and people, so that companies can invest with confidence.<\/p>\n                                                        <\/div>\r\n                                                    <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                                                                                            <div class=\"row artist-row mobile\" data-effect=\"mfp-zoom-in\">\r\n                                                            <div class=\"tcode-artist-popover hidden\">\r\n                                                                <div>\r\n                                                                    <div class=\"row\">\r\n                                                                        <div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-4\">\r\n                                                                            <div class=\"artist-image center-block\">\r\n                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        <img class=\"img-responsive center-block\" alt=\"Plenary: High Integrity Tropical Forest Carbon Credits image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nacwconference.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/frances-seymour-image-120x120.jpg\" \/>\r\n                                                                                                                                                            <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                                                                                                                <\/div>\r\n                                                                        <div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-8 artist-details-container\">\r\n                                                                            <div class=\"tcode-es-artist-title\">\r\n                                                                                <a href=\"#\">\r\n                                                                                    Frances Seymour                                                                                <\/a>\r\n                                                                            <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                                            <div class=\"artist-position\">\r\n                                                                                    Distinguished Senior Fellow, World Resources Institute                                                                                <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                                        <div class=\"artist-content\">\r\n                                                                                <p>Frances Seymour is a Distinguished Senior Fellow at the World Resources Institute (WRI) where she conducts research and writing on forest and climate issues, including the role of forest carbon credits in carbon markets.

In recent years David\u2019s focus has been to expand the scope of Verra, broadening it from an organization dedicated exclusively to certifying carbon reductions to one that also identifies and develops other standards frameworks for a sustainable world. In this vein, David works to ensure that the standards Verra identifies, develops and manages facilitate the flow of capital to enable countries, the private sector and civil society achieve and demonstrate their climate and sustainable development goals. David works closely with the Verra Board to chart the future course of the organization, and spearheads outreach to government, foundation, business and environmental leaders around the world.<\/p>\n<p>A world-renowned expert on climate change, David began his work in this sector when he worked for ICF Consulting in 1994 providing technical advice to Latin American countries developing their GHG inventories and serving on the team that pioneered verification procedures for emission reduction projects. In 1999 David joined the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) in Mexico as its global climate change advisor overseeing the development of an energy-sector grid emission factor and baseline studies for forest protection efforts. In 2003, David joined EcoSecurities in Oxford (UK) where he led a joint venture to develop landfill gas-to-energy projects under the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM). At EcoSecurities David also spearheaded the company\u2019s efforts in the voluntary market, helping to identify key infrastructure and procedural needs that the voluntary carbon market lacked in the early days of its existence.<\/p>\n<p>David holds a Bachelor\u2019s degree in Sociology from Princeton University and a Master\u2019s in Public Policy, with concentrations in Environmental Policy and International Development, from the John F.

Gloriana<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s no longer just Volts and Priuses cruising down the streets. Advances in electric vehicles have brought more consumer models, including trucks, and heavy duty vehicles to the road. Experts in this session will talk about those advancements, what the expansion of EVs means for the impact of transportation on the climate and what we can expect to see down the road.<\/p>\n                                                        <\/div>\r\n                                                    <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                                                                                            <div class=\"row artist-row mobile\" data-effect=\"mfp-zoom-in\">\r\n                                                            <div class=\"tcode-artist-popover hidden\">\r\n                                                                <div>\r\n                                                                    <div class=\"row\">\r\n                                                                        <div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-4\">\r\n                                                                            <div class=\"artist-image center-block\">\r\n                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        <img class=\"img-responsive center-block\" alt=\"From Consumers to Heavy Duty Transportation: Latest Developments in EVs image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nacwconference.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Stephanie-Ly-120x120.jpg\" \/>\r\n                                                                                                                                                            <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                                                                                                                <\/div>\r\n                                                                        <div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-8 artist-details-container\">\r\n                                                                            <div class=\"tcode-es-artist-title\">\r\n                                                                                <a href=\"#\">\r\n                                                                                    Stephanie Ly                                                                                <\/a>\r\n                                                                            <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                                            <div class=\"artist-position\">\r\n                                                                                    Senior Manager, Fleet Electrification and Charging, World Resources Institute                                                                                <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                                        <div class=\"artist-content\">\r\n                                                                                <p>Dr. Stephanie Ly is the Senior Manager, Fleet Electrification and Charging, at the World Resources Institute.

AND LAND USE<br \/>\nRoom: Anabella Ballroom D<\/p>\n<p>High quality offset credits that support Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) not only fetch higher prices but, more importantly, provide additional benefits to local communities. Inclusion of and demand for SDGs is also the trend being seen in carbon markets. Just as low quality credits provide little environmental value, weak or non-existent co-benefits also provide little value. This session will explore how to continue driving the inclusion of SDGs and how to monitor quality.<\/p>\n                                                        <\/div>\r\n                                                    <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                                                                                            <div class=\"row artist-row mobile\" data-effect=\"mfp-zoom-in\">\r\n                                                            <div class=\"tcode-artist-popover hidden\">\r\n                                                                <div>\r\n                                                                    <div class=\"row\">\r\n                                                                        <div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-4\">\r\n                                                                            <div class=\"artist-image center-block\">\r\n                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        <img class=\"img-responsive center-block\" alt=\"Driving and Monitoring Sustainable Development Goals image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nacwconference.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/2021.09.10.KristenG-33_websize-e1648069434732-120x120.jpg\" \/>\r\n                                                                                                                                                            <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                                                                                                                <\/div>\r\n                                                                        <div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-8 artist-details-container\">\r\n                                                                            <div class=\"tcode-es-artist-title\">\r\n                                                                                <a href=\"#\">\r\n                                                                                    Kristen Gorguinpour                                                                                <\/a>\r\n                                                                            <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                                            <div class=\"artist-position\">\r\n                                                                                    Vice President, Programs, Climate Action Reserve                                                                                <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                                        <div class=\"artist-content\">\r\n                                                                                <p>As Vice President of Programs for the Climate Action Reserve, Kristen oversees implementation of the Reserve\u2019s registry services including the voluntary offset project registry, the Reserve\u2019s role as a California Offset Project Registry, and Climate Forward; ensuring effective and efficient process across the programs.

    <p>David serves as Chief Executive Officer of Verra where he oversees all aspects of the organization, including ensuring the financial and operational health of the organization and that the organization\u2019s certification programs meet high quality integrity and transparency standards. In recent years David\u2019s focus has been to expand the scope of Verra, broadening it from an organization dedicated exclusively to certifying carbon reductions to one that also identifies and develops other standards frameworks for a sustainable world. In this vein, David works to ensure that the standards Verra identifies, develops and manages facilitate the flow of capital to enable countries, the private sector and civil society achieve and demonstrate their climate and sustainable development goals. David works closely with the Verra Board to chart the future course of the organization, and spearheads outreach to government, foundation, business and environmental leaders around the world.<\/p>\n<p>A world-renowned expert on climate change, David began his work in this sector when he worked for ICF Consulting in 1994 providing technical advice to Latin American countries developing their GHG inventories and serving on the team that pioneered verification procedures for emission reduction projects. In 1999 David joined the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) in Mexico as its global climate change advisor overseeing the development of an energy-sector grid emission factor and baseline studies for forest protection efforts. In 2003, David joined EcoSecurities in Oxford (UK) where he led a joint venture to develop landfill gas-to-energy projects under the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM). At EcoSecurities David also spearheaded the company\u2019s efforts in the voluntary market, helping to identify key infrastructure and procedural needs that the voluntary carbon market lacked in the early days of its existence.<\/p>\n<p>David holds a Bachelor\u2019s degree in Sociology from Princeton University and a Master\u2019s in Public Policy, with concentrations in Environmental Policy and International Development, from the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University.<\/p>\n<p>Originally born and raised in Mexico City, David now resides in Bethesda, MD with his wife and two children.<\/p>\n

environmental markets. His work on offset markets started more than 15 years when he was appointed by Governor Schwarzenegger to serve on the Board of Directors of the California Climate Action Registry. In that capacity, he approved the first version of the Forest Project Protocol. Since then, Mr. Parkhurst has been involved in the development of more than 10 offset protocols from refrigerant destruction to landfill gas destruction to more than seven different agriculture focused protocols.<\/p>\n<p>In 2019, Mr. Parkhurst founded Sierra View Solutions to help companies design and implement environmental, sustainability and circular economy programs. His primary focus is working at the interface of agriculture, policy, and environmental markets where he helps create new revenue streams for food companies, farmers, ranchers and forest owners. Mr. Parkhurst\u2019s team rapidly researches and analyzes the critical needs of organizations, identifies new business opportunities, develops concrete programs and implementation plans, and identifies partners, stakeholders and thought leaders to help organizations become the industry sustainability leaders. His clients include government agencies, nonprofits, and private companies.<\/p>\n<p>Prior to founding Sierra View Solutions, Mr. Parkhurst spent six years at the Environmental Defense Fund where he implemented data and metrics programs that encouraged farmers and ranchers to reduce the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from their operations. The GHG reductions were provided or sold to companies to meet their voluntary or regulatory emission targets, including Walmart, Campbell\u2019s, Microsoft, and Smithfield. Mr. Parkhurst\u2019s approach and analyses have been published in multiple peer-reviewed journals, including Climate Policy and Rangeland Ecology &#038; Management.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Parkhurst worked at Pacific Gas &#038; Electric (PG&#038;E) where he led the company\u2019s ClimateSmart\u2122 program, a first-of-its-kind voluntary program that allowed PG&#038;E customers to balance out the GHG emissions from their home or company. This included the purchase of more than two million tons of carbon offsets on behalf of PG&#038;E\u2019s customers and promotion of the program externally with business, environmental, and community leaders.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Parkhurst has been widely recognized for his environmental expertise. He received a Climate Protection Award from the U.S. EPA for his leadership on climate change. In 2013 and 2016, he received \u201cCARROT\u201d awards from the Climate Action Reserve for his work developing credible, accurate, and consistent GHG reporting standards. The American Carbon Registry awarded him with their Innovation award in 2015.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Parkhurst has served on multiple boards identifying and implementing climate change solutions. He co-chaired a California Air Resources Board (CARB) to co-chair a committee to develop a long-term research plan to identify the science to reduce emissions from dairy manure and enteric fermentation (cow burps).

This workshop will introduce participants to the differences between avoided emissions and removals and how they are used in distinct ways to fulfill carbon neutrality and net zero reduction goals. We will discuss which removals qualify for the new Science-Based Targets Initiative Net Zero Guidance and the future removals demand due to corporate pledges and supply from offset project developers. The workshop will give participants timely updates on the status of removals breakouts in revised offset methodologies and how these removals will appear on public registries. A particular focus will be given to the North American Improved Forest Management project pipeline and how these projects fit into the new removals definitions.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nThe first portion of the session will be a presentation on the current state of the market and registries, followed by small group discussions to better understand what factors each participant views as critical to continued development of the market.  The session will cover forestry, grasslands, and regenerative agriculture projects, as well as some emerging project types like direct air capture and blue carbon, and will present analysis and market updates affecting each of these project types. Attendees will hear from industry, carbon standards, and offset developers and will come away with a clear picture of the nature-based markets, with a focus on North America, as well as the most current updates likely to affect the near-term development of the market.<\/p>\n                                            <\/div>\r\n                                        <\/div>\r\n                                                                            <\/div>\r\n                                <\/div>\r\n                            <\/div>\r\n                        <\/div>\r\n                                                                                            <div style=\"background-color: #FFFFFF;\" class=\"row scheduled-event event-collapsed event-visible\" data-date=\"2022-04-06\" data-location=\"\">\r\n                            <div class=\"col-md-12\">\r\n                                <div class=\"row\">\r\n                                                                        <div class=\"col-md-2 vcenter \">\r\n                                                                                    <div class=\"imgContainer center-block text-center\">\r\n                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                <img class=\"img-responsive center-block \" alt=\"Navigating the Energy Transition image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nacwconference.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/workshop-buttons-2021-latham-90x90.png\" \/>\r\n                                                                                            <\/div>\r\n                                                                            <\/div><div class=\"col-md-9 vcenter\">\r\n                                        <div class=\"row\">\r\n                                                                                                                                                <div class=\"col-md-12 event-time\" style=\"color: ;\">\r\n                                                        <span class=\"time-starts\">13:00<\/span>\r\n                                                                                                                    - <span class=\"time-ends\">16:30<\/span>\r\n                                                                                                            <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                        <div class=\"col-md-12 event-title\" style=\"color: ;\">Navigating the Energy Transition<\/div>\r\n                                        <\/div>\r\n                                    <\/div><div class=\"col-md-1 vcenter\">\r\n                                        <div class=\"event-icon pull-right\">\r\n                                            <i class=\"tcode-ico-grot-down\" data-state=\"collapsed\" style=\"color: ;\"><\/i>\r\n                                        <\/div>\r\n                                    <\/div>\r\n                                <\/div>\r\n                                <div class=\"row event-excerpt\">\r\n                                    <div class=\"col-md-12\">\r\n                                        <div class=\"row event-content\">\r\n                                            <div class=\"col-md-8 col-md-offset-2\" style=\"color: ;\">\r\n                                                <p>Host: Latham &#038; Watkins<br \/>\nRoom: Anabella Ballroom C<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nClimate considerations will play a crucial role as companies navigate the energy transition.

Prices almost doubled, we have started to see relatively large daily price changes that would maybe have occurred on an annual basis before. Why? In one word: investors.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nWe know financial positions currently, and how they&#8217;ve impacted the market, but how will they impact future volatility, how will they connect CCAs more deeply with a raft of other global assets and dynamics, how long will investors dominate this market and what returns are they after, and under what conditions might they leave?<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nThe answers to these questions will define the WCI market for the next five years.

He oversees the organization\u2019s continued leadership and commitment to ensuring offsets are a trusted and powerful economic tool for reducing emissions.  In his role, he also leads the organization in identifying and entering into other opportunities that build upon the its knowledge and expertise and further its work under its mission and vision.<\/p>\n<p>During his career, he has helped create the foundations for international, national and state policies to address climate change. He supported U.S. negotiations on international climate change agreements, including negotiations leading up to the creation and signing of the Kyoto Protocol, and helped develop the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) and Joint Implementation (JI) provisions under the protocol. Craig\u2019s work also involved pioneering efforts on carbon accounting principles and methodologies. He served as the technical director of Estimation of Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Sinks, which was adopted by the IPCC as its GHG Inventory Programme, and was a key architect behind the development of the official U.S. national GHG inventory to meet commitments under the UNFCCC.<\/p>\n<p>Prior to joining the Reserve, Craig advised the Western Climate Initiative (WCI) and served at ICF for nearly 34

Named by the Secretary-General to the High-Level Panel of Eminent Persons on the Post-2015 Development Agenda, she is a tireless supporter of multilateralism as a way to improve conditions for development in all regions of the world, understanding the inextricable link between the aims of the Paris climate agreement and the Sustainable Development Goals.<\/p>\n<p>Previously Ambassador to Austria, Slovakia, Slovenia and United Nations Organizations in Vienna (2002-2006), she was Chief of Staff to the Under-Secretary for Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Foreign Affairs (1989-1991) and

overseeing its growth from a small nonprofit to one of the world\u2019s most influential environmental organizations, with more than 750 employees in the United States, China, Mexico and Europe and an annual budget of more than $200 million.<\/p>\n<p>As a leading voice on climate change, energy and corporate sustainability, Krupp appeared on the TED stage in 2018 to announce plans to launch MethaneSAT, a satellite that will measure and map planet-warming methane emissions from the oil and gas industry worldwide. In 2016, he played a role in the adoption of the first major bipartisan environmental legislation in two decades, the Lautenberg Chemical Safety Act, by a House vote of 203-12 and a voice vote in the Senate.<\/p>\n<p>Krupp has pioneered innovative approaches to harnessing the power of the marketplace to protect the environment and has led EDF\u2019s groundbreaking corporate partnerships with FedEx, KKR, McDonald\u2019s, Walmart and others. Most recently, he helped GM develop its plan to sell only zero-emission vehicles by 2035.<\/p>\n<p>Educated at Yale and the University of Michigan Law School, Krupp appears frequently in the media. He was named one of America\u2019s Best Leaders by U.S. News and World Report and is a recipient of the 2015 William K.

As this voluntary carbon market grows, a number of initiatives are working to identify global standards to  ensure these carbon credits benefit our environment and truly contribute to ambitious climate goals, as well as ensure projects provide positive economic and social benefits. Panelists in this session will discuss the status and work of these initiatives, their desired outcomes, the impact they could have on the global market and how carbon credit buyers can be empowered to identify high-quality credits and lead the market toward pursuing the highest standards.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nSpeaker slides:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nacwconference.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/NACW-2022-Annette-Nazareth-From-Glasgow-to-Sharm-El-Sheikh-International-Climate-Action-and-Outlooks.pdf\">Annette Nazareth, Senior Counsel at Davis Polk &#038; Wardwell LLP and Chair of the Integrity Council for the Voluntary Carbon Market<\/a>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n                                            <\/div>\r\n                                        <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                    <div class=\"row artist-row\" data-effect=\"mfp-zoom-in\">\r\n                                                    <div class=\"tcode-artist-popover hidden\">\r\n                                                        <div>\r\n                                                            <div class=\"row\">\r\n                                                                <div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-4\">\r\n                                                                    <div class=\"artist-image center-block\">\r\n                                                                                                                                                                                                                                <img class=\"img-responsive center-block\" alt=\"Plenary: Driving High Quality Standards in Carbon Markets image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nacwconference.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/kelley-kizzier-1-120x120.png\" \/>\r\n                                                                                                                                            <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                                                                                        <\/div>\r\n                                                                <div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-8 artist-details-container\">\r\n                                                                    <div class=\"tcode-es-artist-title\">\r\n                                                                        <a href=\"#\">\r\n                                                                            Kelley Kizzier                                                                        <\/a>\r\n                                                                    <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                            <div class=\"artist-position\">\r\n                                                                            Vice President for Global Climate, Environmental Defense Fund                                                                        <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                        <div class=\"artist-content\">\r\n                                                                        <p>Kelley Kizzier is Vice President for Global Climate at Environmental Defense Fund, where she leads EDF\u2019s work to promote more ambitious and effective global climate policy and company action with a focus on multilateral climate agreements and global cooperation through carbon markets.

She leads ClimeCo\u2019s efforts to evaluate new ideas for carbon offsets and other environmental commodities through technical, scientific, and financial feasibility. Lauren and the Program Development team work through all aspects of early project development, including quantitative carbon offset methodology drafting with major registries including the Climate Action Reserve and Verra. She has worked on projects ranging from industrial nitrous oxide abatement to nature-based solutions such as reforestation. While Lauren\u2019s work is primarily in the voluntary carbon offset space, she also has expertise in compliance markets including California\u2019s Cap-and-Trade and Low Carbon Fuel Standard.<\/p>\n<p>Prior to joining ClimeCo, Lauren received her Master of Environmental Management in Economics and Policy at Duke University. During her time at Duke, she worked with the university\u2019s Carbon Offsets Initiative to help Duke achieve carbon neutrality and served as an Article Editor for Duke\u2019s Environmental Law and Policy Forum.

ensuring that the organization\u2019s activities meet the highest standards for quality, transparency and environmental integrity.  He oversees the organization\u2019s continued leadership and commitment to ensuring offsets are a trusted and powerful economic tool for reducing emissions.  In his role, he also leads the organization in identifying and entering into other opportunities that build upon the its knowledge and expertise and further its work under its mission and vision.<\/p>\n<p>During his career, he has helped create the foundations for international, national and state policies to address climate change.

With a Ph.D. in chemistry, her scientific mind always wants to know more. With an MBA from Presidio Graduate School, she believes in the power of business to transform our economy. And with her boundless curiosity and endless charm (while retaining a hint of British irony), she thrives on building long term partnerships with her clients. She\u2019s not content with just delivering what they need right now, but is always looking for the solutions they need for even greater impact and value into the future.<\/p>\n

climate change\/environmental policy development \u2013 spanning her tenure at the provincial Department of Agriculture in Alberta, then at the not-for-profit Climate Change Central, and now in the private sector. During her tenure with the province, Karen was part of the cross-governmental team that developed Alberta\u2019s Bioenergy Policy Framework, which was approved by cabinet in 2008. This framework set the stage for Alberta\u2019s Bioenergy Program administered by the Department of Energy. Karen also led ecosystem goods and service policy and program development, in concert with other federal, provincial, and territorial governments under Canada\u2019s Agriculture Policy Frameworks. In her earlier years with the provincial department of agriculture, she conducted research and studies of environmental mitigation opportunities for agriculture in air, water, soil and biodiversity<\/p>\n<p>Her most significant contribution while she worked in the public and not-for-profit sectors was her work at a national level, with federal-provincial and territorial governments on the Canadian National Offset Quantification Team (NOQT). Karen, through her capacity on the Team, designed the protocol development process, represented the agricultural sector in Canada, and coordinated the development of several agricultural quantification protocols. In 2007, Karen was seconded to Climate Change Central, a not-for-profit established by the Government of Alberta. There, Karen led the implementation of the necessary market processes, infrastructure, and tools needed to get the Alberta Carbon Offset Market off the ground. In that role, Karen and her Team leveraged the previous NOQT work to help build sound rules, platforms, science-based quantification protocols, tools, and infrastructure (e.g. registry) needed to facilitate the development of a Carbon Offset Market in Alberta.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, Karen is President of Viresco Solutions Inc. \u2013 a network of leading advisors making sustainability real for public and private clients in the agriculture, energy, and food sectors across North America and globally.

2: INNOVATION, FINANCE AND TECHNOLOGY: DRIVING SCALE AND INTEGRITY<br \/>\nRoom: Anabella Ballroom C<\/p>\n<p>On the global stage, California has long been a leader on climate action. Now the state&#8217;s next milestone in its Scoping Plan is to reduce GHG emissions by 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030. An often discussed tool in the state&#8217;s toolbox has been its Cap-and-Trade Program, but the state relies on many other tools to help achieve its climate goals. In this session, leaders from different state agencies discuss how their climate programs and initiatives support the state&#8217;s climate goals, how those programs have been shaped by EJ concerns and the impact they have had on disadvantaged communities so far. <\/p>\n                                            <\/div>\r\n                                        <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                    <div class=\"row artist-row\" data-effect=\"mfp-zoom-in\">\r\n                                                    <div class=\"tcode-artist-popover hidden\">\r\n                                                        <div>\r\n                                                            <div class=\"row\">\r\n                                                                <div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-4\">\r\n                                                                    <div class=\"artist-image center-block\">\r\n                                                                                                                                                                                                                                <img class=\"img-responsive center-block\" alt=\"Leading Climate Action: Meeting California&#8217;s Climate Goals and the Needs of Different Communities image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nacwconference.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Rajinder-Sahota-120x120.jpg\" \/>\r\n                                                                                                                                            <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                                                                                        <\/div>\r\n                                                                <div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-8 artist-details-container\">\r\n                                                                    <div class=\"tcode-es-artist-title\">\r\n                                                                        <a href=\"#\">\r\n                                                                            Rajinder Sahota                                                                        <\/a>\r\n                                                                    <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                            <div class=\"artist-position\">\r\n                                                                            Deputy Executive Officer \u2013 Climate Change & Research, California Air Resources Board                                                                        <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                        <div class=\"artist-content\">\r\n                                                                        <p>Rajinder Sahota was appointed as the Deputy Executive Officer for Climate Change and Research in spring of 2021.

These cross-sector partnerships are at the heart of the Restore the Earth strategy and business model.<\/p>\n<p>Today, Restore the Earth\u2019s private and public partnerships lead the way in landscape scale reforestation of 1 million acres, 100,000,000 native trees, in the Mississippi River Basin, \u201cNorth America\u2019s Amazon\u201d. This will generate over 200,000,000 mt CO2e in additional, permanent carbon emission reductions, having a major impact on climate change.<\/p>\n<p>Restore the Earth F is a 501 (c)(3) not for profit with the mission to restore the Earth\u2019s essential forest and wetland ecosystems at a landscape scale and using metrics (EcoMetrics) to measure the value and impact. Restore the Earth\u2019s approach ensures habitat and communities are enhanced by restoration in self-sustaining systems.<\/p>\n

But there has been a fierce debate about whether these types of credits are really delivering the environmental and related benefits that are being claimed. Companies face a complex and dynamic marketplace that makes it hard to know what \u201cgood\u201d looks like when it comes to tropical forest carbon credits. In this session, NGO representatives and Indigenous Peoples will discuss why it\u2019s important to clearly identify the high-integrity tropical forest credits that drive the most impact for climate, biodiversity and people, so that companies can invest with confidence.<\/p>\n                                            <\/div>\r\n                                        <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                    <div class=\"row artist-row\" data-effect=\"mfp-zoom-in\">\r\n                                                    <div class=\"tcode-artist-popover hidden\">\r\n                                                        <div>\r\n                                                            <div class=\"row\">\r\n                                                                <div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-4\">\r\n                                                                    <div class=\"artist-image center-block\">\r\n                                                                                                                                                                                                                                <img class=\"img-responsive center-block\" alt=\"Plenary: High Integrity Tropical Forest Carbon Credits image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nacwconference.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/frances-seymour-image-120x120.jpg\" \/>\r\n                                                                                                                                            <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                                                                                        <\/div>\r\n                                                                <div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-8 artist-details-container\">\r\n                                                                    <div class=\"tcode-es-artist-title\">\r\n                                                                        <a href=\"#\">\r\n                                                                            Frances Seymour                                                                        <\/a>\r\n                                                                    <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                            <div class=\"artist-position\">\r\n                                                                            Distinguished Senior Fellow, World Resources Institute                                                                        <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                        <div class=\"artist-content\">\r\n                                                                        <p>Frances Seymour is a Distinguished Senior Fellow at the World Resources Institute (WRI) where she conducts research and writing on forest and climate issues, including the role of forest carbon credits in carbon markets.

2026<\/p>\n<p>Liane Randolph has spent most of her career in public service, specializing in environmental law and policy, effective administration, and a commitment to transparency and public process. She was appointed Chair of the California Air Resources Board by Governor Gavin Newsom in December 2020. Starting in 2015, Randolph served six years as a Commissioner at the California Public Utilities Commission and managed numerous decisions on energy efficiency, integrated energy resource planning, and regulation of transportation network companies, as well as spearheading significant Commission policy reforms. Prior to the PUC, Randolph served from 2011 to 2014 as Deputy Secretary and General Counsel at the California Natural Resources Agency, where she worked on a wide variety of legal and policy issues, including work on the Klamath Dam Removal agreement, CEQA guidelines, and the Agency\u2019s first Tribal Consultation Policy. Randolph\u2019s first role with the State was as Chair of the California Fair Political Practices Commission from 2003 to 2007. Her work at the state level builds on experience with local government that she gained while practicing municipal law as a contract City Attorney for the Cities of San Leandro and Suisun City. Randolph earned a Juris Doctor degree from the University of California, Los Angeles School of Law and lives in Oakland with her husband and family. In her spare time she enjoys hiking, running, and reading.<\/p>\n                                                                    <\/div>\r\n                                                                <\/div>\r\n                                                            <\/div>\r\n                                                        <\/div>\r\n                                                    <\/div>\r\n                                                    <div class=\"col-md-10 col-md-offset-2 tcode-es-artist-title-col vcenter\">\r\n                                                        <div class=\"vcenter artist-image\">\r\n                                                                                                                                                                                            <img class=\"img-responsive\" alt=\"Keynote Address image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nacwconference.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Liane-M.-Randolph-1-90x90.jpg\" \/>\r\n                                                                                                                    <\/div>\r\n                                                        <div class=\"vcenter tcode-es-artist-title-container\">\r\n                                                            <div class=\"tcode-es-artist-title\" style=\"color: ;\">\r\n                                                                Liane Randolph                                                            <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                            <div class=\"artist-position\" style=\"color: ;\">\r\n                                                                    Chair, California Air Resources Board                                                                <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                    <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                                                            <div class=\"vcenter\">\r\n                                                                                                                                    <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/mslianeran\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"tcode-social-icon tcode-ico-twitter\"><\/a>\r\n                                                                                                                            <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                            <\/div>\r\n                                                <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                        <\/div>\r\n                                <\/div>\r\n                            <\/div>\r\n                        <\/div>\r\n                                                                                            <div style=\"background-color: #FFFFFF;\" class=\"row scheduled-event event-collapsed event-visible\" data-date=\"2022-04-08\" data-location=\"\">\r\n                            <div class=\"col-md-12\">\r\n                                <div class=\"row\">\r\n                                                                        <div class=\"col-md-2 vcenter hidden-xs\">\r\n                                                                                    <div class=\"imgContainer center-block text-center\">\r\n                                                                                            <\/div>\r\n                                                                            <\/div><div class=\"col-md-9 vcenter\">\r\n                                        <div class=\"row\">\r\n                                                                                                                                                <div class=\"col-md-12 event-time\" style=\"color: ;\">\r\n                                                        <span class=\"time-starts\">09:30<\/span>\r\n                                                                                                                    -

In recent years David\u2019s focus has been to expand the scope of Verra, broadening it from an organization dedicated exclusively to certifying carbon reductions to one that also identifies and develops other standards frameworks for a sustainable world. In this vein, David works to ensure that the standards Verra identifies, develops and manages facilitate the flow of capital to enable countries, the private sector and civil society achieve and demonstrate their climate and sustainable development goals. David works closely with the Verra Board to chart the future course of the organization, and spearheads outreach to government, foundation, business and environmental leaders around the world.<\/p>\n<p>A world-renowned expert on climate change, David began his work in this sector when he worked for ICF Consulting in 1994 providing technical advice to Latin American countries developing their GHG inventories and serving on the team that pioneered verification procedures for emission reduction projects. In 1999 David joined the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) in Mexico as its global climate change advisor overseeing the development of an energy-sector grid emission factor and baseline studies for forest protection efforts. In 2003, David joined EcoSecurities in Oxford (UK) where he led a joint venture to develop landfill gas-to-energy projects under the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM). At EcoSecurities David also spearheaded the company\u2019s efforts in the voluntary market, helping to identify key infrastructure and procedural needs that the voluntary carbon market lacked in the early days of its existence.<\/p>\n<p>David holds a Bachelor\u2019s degree in Sociology from Princeton University and a Master\u2019s in Public Policy, with concentrations in Environmental Policy and International Development, from the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University.<\/p>\n<p>Originally born and raised in Mexico City, David now resides in Bethesda, MD with his wife and two children.<\/p>\n

EMPOWERMENT AND LAND USE<br \/>\nRoom: Anabella Ballroom D<\/p>\n<p>High quality offset credits that support Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) not only fetch higher prices but, more importantly, provide additional benefits to local communities. Inclusion of and demand for SDGs is also the trend being seen in carbon markets. Just as low quality credits provide little environmental value, weak or non-existent co-benefits also provide little value. This session will explore how to continue driving the inclusion of SDGs and how to monitor quality.<\/p>\n                                            <\/div>\r\n                                        <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                    <div class=\"row artist-row\" data-effect=\"mfp-zoom-in\">\r\n                                                    <div class=\"tcode-artist-popover hidden\">\r\n                                                        <div>\r\n                                                            <div class=\"row\">\r\n                                                                <div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-4\">\r\n                                                                    <div class=\"artist-image center-block\">\r\n                                                                                                                                                                                                                                <img class=\"img-responsive center-block\" alt=\"Driving and Monitoring Sustainable Development Goals image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nacwconference.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/2021.09.10.KristenG-33_websize-e1648069434732-120x120.jpg\" \/>\r\n                                                                                                                                            <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                                                                                        <\/div>\r\n                                                                <div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-8 artist-details-container\">\r\n                                                                    <div class=\"tcode-es-artist-title\">\r\n                                                                        <a href=\"#\">\r\n                                                                            Kristen Gorguinpour                                                                        <\/a>\r\n                                                                    <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                            <div class=\"artist-position\">\r\n                                                                            Vice President, Programs, Climate Action Reserve                                                                        <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                        <div class=\"artist-content\">\r\n                                                                        <p>As Vice President of Programs for the Climate Action Reserve, Kristen oversees implementation of the Reserve\u2019s registry services including the voluntary offset project registry, the Reserve\u2019s role as a California Offset Project Registry, and Climate Forward; ensuring effective and efficient process across the programs.

                                                           <p>David serves as Chief Executive Officer of Verra where he oversees all aspects of the organization, including ensuring the financial and operational health of the organization and that the organization\u2019s certification programs meet high quality integrity and transparency standards. In recent years David\u2019s focus has been to expand the scope of Verra, broadening it from an organization dedicated exclusively to certifying carbon reductions to one that also identifies and develops other standards frameworks for a sustainable world. In this vein, David works to ensure that the standards Verra identifies, develops and manages facilitate the flow of capital to enable countries, the private sector and civil society achieve and demonstrate their climate and sustainable development goals. David works closely with the Verra Board to chart the future course of the organization, and spearheads outreach to government, foundation, business and environmental leaders around the world.<\/p>\n<p>A world-renowned expert on climate change, David began his work in this sector when he worked for ICF Consulting in 1994 providing technical advice to Latin American countries developing their GHG inventories and serving on the team that pioneered verification procedures for emission reduction projects. In 1999 David joined the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) in Mexico as its global climate change advisor overseeing the development of an energy-sector grid emission factor and baseline studies for forest protection efforts. In 2003, David joined EcoSecurities in Oxford (UK) where he led a joint venture to develop landfill gas-to-energy projects under the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM). At EcoSecurities David also spearheaded the company\u2019s efforts in the voluntary market, helping to identify key infrastructure and procedural needs that the voluntary carbon market lacked in the early days of its existence.<\/p>\n<p>David holds a Bachelor\u2019s degree in Sociology from Princeton University and a Master\u2019s in Public Policy, with concentrations in Environmental Policy and International Development, from the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University.<\/p>\n<p>Originally born and raised in Mexico City, David now resides in Bethesda, MD with his wife and two children.<\/p>\n

class=\"artist-content\">\r\n                                                                        <p>Robert Parkhurst has more than 25 years of experience designing and implementing environmental markets. His work on offset markets started more than 15 years when he was appointed by Governor Schwarzenegger to serve on the Board of Directors of the California Climate Action Registry. In that capacity, he approved the first version of the Forest Project Protocol. Since then, Mr. Parkhurst has been involved in the development of more than 10 offset protocols from refrigerant destruction to landfill gas destruction to more than seven different agriculture focused protocols.<\/p>\n<p>In 2019, Mr. Parkhurst founded Sierra View Solutions to help companies design and implement environmental, sustainability and circular economy programs. His primary focus is working at the interface of agriculture, policy, and environmental markets where he helps create new revenue streams for food companies, farmers, ranchers and forest owners. Mr. Parkhurst\u2019s team rapidly researches and analyzes the critical needs of organizations, identifies new business opportunities, develops concrete programs and implementation plans, and identifies partners, stakeholders and thought leaders to help organizations become the industry sustainability leaders. His clients include government agencies, nonprofits, and private companies.<\/p>\n<p>Prior to founding Sierra View Solutions, Mr. Parkhurst spent six years at the Environmental Defense Fund where he implemented data and metrics programs that encouraged farmers and ranchers to reduce the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from their operations. The GHG reductions were provided or sold to companies to meet their voluntary or regulatory emission targets, including Walmart, Campbell\u2019s, Microsoft, and Smithfield. Mr. Parkhurst\u2019s approach and analyses have been published in multiple peer-reviewed journals, including Climate Policy and Rangeland Ecology &#038; Management.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Parkhurst worked at Pacific Gas &#038; Electric (PG&#038;E) where he led the company\u2019s ClimateSmart\u2122 program, a first-of-its-kind voluntary program that allowed PG&#038;E customers to balance out the GHG emissions from their home or company. This included the purchase of more than two million tons of carbon offsets on behalf of PG&#038;E\u2019s customers and promotion of the program externally with business, environmental, and community leaders.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Parkhurst has been widely recognized for his environmental expertise. He received a Climate Protection Award from the U.S. EPA for his leadership on climate change. In 2013 and 2016, he received \u201cCARROT\u201d awards from the Climate Action Reserve for his work developing credible, accurate, and consistent GHG reporting standards. The American Carbon Registry awarded him with their Innovation award in 2015.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Parkhurst has served on multiple boards identifying and implementing climate change solutions. He co-chaired a California Air Resources Board (CARB) to co-chair a committee to develop a long-term research plan to identify the science to reduce emissions from dairy manure and enteric fermentation (cow burps). He was appointed to the CARB\u2019s Compliance Offset Protocol Task Force representing the agricultural community. The Task Force identified and recommended new Compliance Offset Protocols for use in California\u2019s Cap-and-Trade Program between 2021 and 2030. Mr. Parkhurst currently serves on the Board of the Clean Power Alliance which purchases electricity for approximately three million customers across 32 communities throughout Southern California. He is also on the City Council for the City of Sierra Madre.<\/p>\n                                                                    <\/div>\r\n                                                                <\/div>\r\n                                                            <\/div>\r\n                                                        <\/div>\r\n                                                    <\/div>\r\n                                                    <div class=\"col-md-10 col-md-offset-2 tcode-es-artist-title-col vcenter\">\r\n                                                        <div class=\"vcenter artist-image\">\r\n                                                                                                                                                                                            <img class=\"img-responsive\" alt=\"Driving and Monitoring Sustainable Development Goals image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nacwconference.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Robert-Parkhurst-sq-90x90.jpg\" \/>\r\n                                                                                                                    <\/div>\r\n                                                        <div class=\"vcenter tcode-es-artist-title-container\">\r\n                                                            <div class=\"tcode-es-artist-title\" style=\"color: ;\">\r\n                                                                Robert Parkhurst                                                            <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                            <div class=\"artist-position\" style=\"color: ;\">\r\n                                                                    Founder, Sierra View Solutions                                                                <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                    <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                                                                            <div class=\"vcenter\">\r\n                                                                                                                                    <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/rtparkhurst\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"tcode-social-icon tcode-ico-twitter\"><\/a>\r\n                                                                                                                            <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                            <\/div>\r\n                                                <\/div>\r\n                                                                                                                        <\/div>\r\n                                <\/div>\r\n                            <\/div>\r\n                        <\/div>\r\n                                                            \r\n                                <div class=\"row no-events text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"col-xs-12\">Select date to see events.<\/div>\r\n                <\/div>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n        <!-- End Desktop theme -->\r\n    <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    jQuery(document).ready(function($) {\r\n        \/\/ Init schedule script\r\n        $('.event-schedule').schedule({\r\n            showLocations: false,\r\n            keepAccordionsOpen: false,\r\n            openFirstAccordion: true        });\r\n        $('#days-carousel').tcodeslick({\r\n            slidesToShow: 3,\r\n            slidesToScroll: 3,\r\n            infinite: false,\r\n            prevArrow: '<a href=\"#\" class=\"slick-prev\"><\/a>',\r\n            nextArrow: '<a href=\"#\" class=\"slick-next\"><\/a>',\r\n            speed: 800,\r\n            easing: 'swing'\r\n        });\r\n    });\r\n<\/script>\r\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NACW 2022 Conference Program This is a draft program subject to change.
