Andrew Gilmour, CEO of Laconic Global, is a global thought leader in natural carbon assets and a pioneer in uniting financial and environmental objectives. He regularly speaks at international conferences and advises national leaders on nature-based carbon solutions, carbon credit quality, and risk management. He is driving the transformation of how financial markets and climate goals intersect, helping shape a more sustainable future. He is one of the inventors of Natural Capital Monetization, a unique technologically enabled process that transforms carbon credits into a new financial asset. This innovation unlocks trillions of dollars in nature-based carbon instruments that can be fluidly traded alongside stocks on major global exchanges. By aligning financial incentives with environmental goals, Natural Capital Monetization empowers nations to not only protect their ecosystems but also drive economic growth and social equity by generating more revenue from preservation than from exploitation.
