On the heels of the major White House announcement endorsing and strengthening the Voluntary Carbon Markets - read our Mortenson Center in Global Engineering & Resilience and Castalia's new journal article in ES&T Water - "Decarbonizing Water: The Potential to Apply the Voluntary Carbon Market toward Global Water Security". This paper was supported by WaterAid, Resilient Water Accelerator, VCMI, Gold Standard, HSBC, National Science Foundation (NSF), Autodesk Foundation, Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation and Walton Family Foundation, written by John Edem Ecklu, Katie Fankhauser, Laura MacDonald, Christina Barstow, Alex Johnson, David Ehrhardt, Ilan Adler.

New research has found that 1.6 billion voluntary carbon credits could potentially be generated per year for emission reductions created through investments in water. Harnessing the potential of high-integrity carbon credits could result in a triple win: reduced emissions, improved water security, and improved access to safe water and sanitation for millions of people. We spoke to lead author, Evan Thomas, PhD, PE, MPH, about the report. ➡ https://lnkd.in/eTnuMBCR WaterAid University of Colorado Boulder Millennium Water Alliance (MWA)
