A global perspective on accelerating decarbonisation through infrastructure and carbon markets

Partner David Lee, partner and head of the global infrastructure group, senior associate Victoria White, and Phil Beattie, head of strategic relationships at SparkChange, join Brenna Speiser, senior manager at Fuse, A&O’s tech innovation hub, to discuss how investment in infrastructure and carbon markets (mandatory and voluntary) can work together to drive decarbonisation. 

The speakers explore the interaction between developments in infrastructure, technology, and policy required to transition to low-carbon energy, and the market structures which can support this effort.

SparkChange helps investors to meet specific decarbonisation objectives by integrating the global finance industry directly with carbon markets. Its specialist carbon investment products and data allows both financial returns and positive environmental impact.
