ICVCM Appoints 28-Member Expert Panel for 2025 to 2028 Term
The Integrity Council for the Voluntary Carbon Market has announced the new cohort of 28 Expert Panel members for the 2025 to 2028 term, appointing Jessica Wade-Murphy de Jiménez as a new Co-Chair alongside returning co-chairs Gabriel Labbate and Daniel Ortega Pacheco. The new cohort includes experts spanning carbon crediting methodologies, Indigenous Peoples rights, carbon removals, climate finance, sustainable technologies, and project life-cycle analysis.
Jessica Wade-Murphy de Jiménez, Founder and Director of climate change consultancy Atmosphere Alternative in Bogotá, Colombia, was appointed as Co-Chair, replacing Pedro Martins Barata who joins the Integrity Council's Governing Board. Wade-Murphy de Jiménez has been a panel member since 2021 and brings expertise in greenhouse gas mitigation accounting, baseline methodologies, and measurement, reporting, and verification. She also serves on the UNFCCC Article 6.4 Mechanism Methodological Expert Panel and has previously served on the Ethics Committee of Asocarbono.
The 28-member panel combines returning experts from the 2021 to 2024 cohort with newly appointed professionals drawn from across the globe, maintaining continuity while introducing fresh perspectives. Members represent organisations including the United Nations Environment Programme, Stockholm Environment Institute, Conservation International, Greenspace Energy Solutions, Carbon Market Watch, West African Alliance on Carbon Markets, and Save the Children International. Geographic representation spans Africa, Asia, Europe, and Latin America, in line with the ICVCM's commitment to diversity.
The ICVCM stated it is still recruiting early to mid-career professionals to join the Expert Panel, with the aim of building human capacity for carbon markets in the years ahead. The Governing Board thanked outgoing members including Donna Lee, Lambert Schneider, Michael Gillenwater, and Kelley Hamrick for their contributions to developing the Core Carbon Principles and Assessment Framework. The new cohort will take on responsibility for ongoing methodology assessments as the volume of CCP-labelled credits in the market continues to grow.
