The Carbon Market Institute has announced the addition of two new directors to its board.
“I am very pleased to welcome Elisa de Wit and Andrew Grant to the board,” says Carbon Market Institute chairman Leslie Hosking. “Both Elisa and Andrew are well respected leaders in the field and have extensive experience across the broad spectrum of carbon market-related policy and activities.”
