The Carbon Portfolio Gap: The Role of Gender in the Voluntary Carbon Market

Hosted by Abatable in partnership with Women in Carbon, this London Climate Action Week event will explore why gender should be considered a core indicator of project quality and investment resilience—not simply a co-benefit of carbon projects.

The panel will bring together Juliet Davenport, Jeannette Gurung, Lizzy Coad, Sheena Patel, Holly Nicholson, and Sicilia Corbisiero to discuss how stronger gender-responsive standards, better data, and initiatives such as the W+ Standard can help investors and buyers identify high-quality projects while delivering measurable outcomes for women and communities.

Join us as we explore how integrating gender into project design can strengthen governance, reduce risk, and improve long-term climate impact.
