The Global Carbon Market Utility (GCMU) is an early-stage financial services organization with a mission to build market infrastructure to help grow the carbon market. This market is essential to drive capital toward reducing and removing emissions. But today, the market is too small to make a significant climate impact, because it lacks many structures and processes that are critical foundations of the mature markets that make our global financial system safe and trustworthy.

The GCMU aims to provide the services of a public financial market-utility. It will establish and maintain robust data standards and ledgers and provide a central book of record. It will develop and operate systems for data transparency and management, contracts, audits, verification, and dispute resolution. This infrastructure will enable financial intermediaries to enter the market, provide project financing, manage risk, and match thousands of buyers and sellers together. 

This Managing Director is a carbon markets expert who can design the GCMU ledger system, engage with technical stakeholders across the carbon markets, and inform GCMU’s broader business strategy.
