CARBON MARKETS

INNOVATION FORUM

Powered by the Startup Coalition

The Current CMIF Sprint

We want to hear from founders with views on climate disclosures and transition plans, with open calls for input scheduled for September. We will be hosting calls on Tuesday 2nd and Thursday 4th September to give Carbon Markets startups a chance to discuss three consultations currently open, covering the broad theme of climate disclosures.

These are:

The Carbon Markets Innovation Forum (CMIF) gives startups a seat at the table.

The Carbon Market is a vital part of our transition to Net Zero, and will be powered by innovative startups. We represent the full supply chain of a carbon credit.

We will work with the UK Government to ensure the UK becomes a home for high integrity and high quality carbon credits.

About Us:

The Carbon Markets Innovation Forum (CMIF) was founded in October 2023 to convene startups in the carbon markets and ensure they have a seat at the policy table. 

This includes actors in the compliance and voluntary carbon markets, and is aimed at startups involved across the carbon market supply chain:

  • Carbon accounting - supporting the quantification of greenhouse gas emissions

  • Carbon intermediaries - supporting the integrity of the market through software, infrastructure and ratings

  • Carbon credit providers - the folks doing the actual removal and offsetting downstream, and providing carbon credits to the market

We operate an open-doors policy to celebrate, educate and empower startups in the carbon markets, with a specific focus of ensuring they have the chance to feed into the UK Government’s policymaking process.

Once a quarter we invite startups to join our CMIF summit, under the strategic direction of our steering committee and secretariat. 

We also aim to equip UK policymakers, regulators and officials with information about and access to the innovative carbon markets.
