When we agree on reducing carbon emissions, how do we agree on the standards that measure them? In this episode, we have Viridiana Alcantara-Shivapatham, a Senior Program Officer at Verra, one of the world’s largest carbon standards organisations. Here she talks about the painstaking review processes that go behind their work, the role of smallholder farmers in the carbon market, and how carbon emissions go much beyond just carbon dioxide.
