Apoorva Oza: How do you tip famers’ habits towards nature? When sequestration takes place and nature improves as you shift to more organic farming, there is a cost involved – but most carbon credit contracts are ambiguous in terms of benefits to farmers Aga Khan Foundation Integrity Action

Apoorva Oza: The community is the weaker partner in carbon credit agreements – so how does one make sure this partnership is inclusive? If anything goes wrong, who is a player powerful enough to enforce contracts? Aga Khan Foundation Integrity Action #VCM #Community

Jasmina Haynes: How do you bring voices and action of communities as equal players to policy-makers? To date, our international development sector has not achieved this Aga Khan Foundation Integrity Action #greenaccountability #data #VCM

Apoorva Oza: The insurance sector needs to be incentivised to be involved in the voluntary carbon markets sector – there is an element of risk which they are wary of, but there is much to be gained from their involvement Aga Khan Foundation Integrity Action #VCM #risk #trust

Violet Shivutse speaking the importance of trust in VCM. "How are we able to ensure that there is continuous dialogue that builds trust? Dialogue has always helped between communities, companies and farmers" Aga Khan Foundation Integrity Action #VCM #Community #trust
