DevvStream Holdings Inc. (“DevvStream” or the “Company”) (CBOE: DESG) (OTCQB: DSTRF) (FSE: CQ0), a leading carbon credit project co-development and generation firm specializing in technology-based solutions, will participate in the 28th Conference of the Parties (COP28) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) to be held in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE) from November 30 to December 12, 2023.

Members of the DevvStream leadership team will travel to Dubai to join world leaders, politicians, experts and private sector leaders for discussion of the climate crisis, and solutions at hand, on a global level. DevvStream representatives will share insights on the critical role that both compliance and voluntary carbon markets must play in helping governments and corporations achieve net zero goals.

“Global warming and climate change present an ever-growing threat to the future of communities across the globe, and it is imperative that private and public sector leaders come together to embrace bold, creative solutions aimed at delivering a more sustainable future,” said DevvStream CEO Sunny Trinh. “The UN’s endorsement of carbon offsetting is a pivotal first step for advancing global decarbonization. But it is crucial that we continue to build momentum for the participation in and development of carbon markets, while at the same time creating a foundation of trust and transparency required for these markets to meet their full potential. We look forward to connecting with stakeholders from around the globe in Dubai to discuss these key issues.”

DevvStream seeks to partner with governments and corporations worldwide to achieve their sustainability goals through the implementation of curated green technology projects that are designed to improve energy efficiency and eliminate, reduce or sequester carbon emissions, through the use of carbon credits. Through a unique, two-pronged business model, DevvStream’s Carbon Management and Carbon Investment programs take a systematic approach to the process of generating carbon credits by partnering with project owners to either directly invest as a co-developer or execute project design, documentation, and certification efforts and associated costs in exchange for a substantial portion of multi-year carbon credit streams. Through this approach, DevvStream aims to democratize access to carbon markets while helping governments and corporations worldwide meet their sustainability goals.

Attendees can learn more about DevvStream’s mission and technology-focused approach to sustainability at COP28 in Dubai by requesting a meeting via email to the following address: COP28@devvstream.com. Note that DevvStream leadership is only available to meet from December 3 through December 8.
