Carbon Frontiers Episode 5 | Peter Zaman...

Abaxx Technologies Inc.
About this episode

This week on our Carbon Frontiers series, we welcome Peter Zaman back into the SmarterMarkets™ studio. Peter is a Partner at HFW in Singapore and has been practicing law in climate finance and the environmental markets since 2004.

One year after Peter took us deep into Article 6, we're circling back to discuss the progress that's been made — and the work that still remains. SmarterMarkets™ host David Greely sits down with Peter to tackle the legislation and mechanisms allowing countries to voluntarily cooperate with each other to achieve emission reduction targets set out in their NDCs.

With over 20 years of experience across UK, EU, and Asia, Peter's rare combination of commodities and climate finance expertise provides a uniquely holistic view of the carbon market ecosystem, crucial to support businesses in their energy transition pathways.
