“We need to move from cynicism to informed engagement. Dig deeper. Go beyond headlines. There’s real good that carbon finance can unlock.”
— Maria Filmanovic
In our July episode of Untangling Climate Finance, Jay connects with Maria Filmanovic, Co-Founder and Director of Abatable, to explore how risk, data, and trust are transforming the voluntary carbon market, and what it will take to unlock truly high-integrity climate finance at scale.
Maria brings a sharp lens from her background in impact investing and carbon procurement at Goldman Sachs to her current work leading Abatable, a platform helping organizations navigate carbon credit sourcing with precision and transparency.
Maria covers:
✅ Why carbon market risk is too often overlooked, and how that’s changing
✅ How Abatable’s VCM Investment Attractiveness Index is guiding smarter investment decisions
âś… The key political, operational, and methodological risks climate investors should understand
âś… Why trust, transparency, and better data, are essential to scaling climate impact
✅ What’s next for Abatable, from project risk databases to CORSIA-aligned carbon transactions
As carbon markets mature, it’s not just about quality – it’s about confidence. Maria shares what it takes to build that confidence, and how Abatable is helping bridge the gap between corporate climate ambition and grounded, high-impact action.
If you’re navigating the carbon space, this is one to queue up.
