In this episode, Jay speaks with Eric Wei, Carbon Credit Program Director at the Global Water Center, to explore how carbon finance is being used to scale safe water access in some of the world’s most underserved regions. They dive into how water-based carbon credits are emerging as a powerful, if underutilized, tool in the climate finance toolkit.

Eric explains how Global Water Center (GWC) is helping small and mid-sized water project developers access the voluntary carbon market, generate long-term operational funding, and build resilient, community-owned infrastructure. He also shares details about GWC’s new Carbon Aggregation Platform (CAP), designed to lower the barriers for smaller developers and accelerate project deployment.

Give it a listen to learn why water is more than a co-benefit in climate finance - and how carbon credits can help turn a global crisis into a scalable solution.
