Turnkey Solutions for Buying Carbon Removals

Breakout

How to join the emerging market for offsets that pull carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

Scientists have told us that we need to remove billions of tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere if we’re to avoid the worst impacts of climate change. Organizations that want to contribute to this goal often find the market for carbon removals difficult to navigate, but several easy-to-use services for buying carbon removals have recently emerged. Leaders from these new services will explain how organizations of any size can now purchase high-quality credits and help to grow the market for removals.

Making Sense of the Headlines Questioning Forest Offsets

Breakout

Offsets experts disentangle the debate over whether forest credits perform as advertised.

Over the past few years, several media outlets have questioned the integrity of forest offsets and the role of trusted non-profits in promoting them. How have forest experts responded? And are these questions serious enough for companies to consider channeling offset spending to other solutions, or just a reminder that offset buyers always need to do appropriate due diligence? Our panel will take questions from an independent expert who will help your organization make sense of forest offsets and understand how to responsibly engage in this market.
