The Maturing Carbon Market: Carbon Pricing, Removals & Risk in 2025 - Magnus Drewelies

Carbon markets are evolving fast — but is the demand side keeping up?

In this episode, Magnus Drewelies (Founder & CEO of Ceezer) joins Edward and Rene to unpack key insights from the World Bank’s 2025 State and Trends of Carbon Pricing report and explore what’s really happening in carbon credit markets.
