Imagine what would happen if companies could track the embedded carbon in every ingredient, part and service they purchase.

It’s notoriously hard to calculate the carbon emitted in the creation of a product, whether it's a cereal bar or a computer. To determine a carbon count for the finished item, manufacturers need to know the emissions associated with each part of the product and the services used in its creation — data that can be extremely hard to come by.

A new generation of solutions is now available to help tackle this problem. Learn about the technologies and strategies your organization can use to illuminate the carbon flowing through its supply chain — and how to reduce it.

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.

China’s investments in climate technologies at home and abroad will impact economies for decades to come.

The last few years have seen China pursue climate action on multiple fronts, from setting a net-zero target to huge investments in renewable capacity and world-leading sales of electric vehicles. How will these and future changes shape the environment for your organization, both in China and western markets? Experts in China’s climate plans and leaders from China’s climate tech sector share their insights into a future that will be profoundly influenced by the country on track to become the world’s largest economy.

As the market for offsets diversifies, opportunities are emerging to fund projects that cut emissions in increasingly innovative ways.

Discover how your offset spending can delay commercial timber harvesting, lessen the impact of methane seeps, force industry to cut pollution or store carbon deep underground. Experts behind these credits will unpack the technologies and strategies involved, and answer your questions on the pros and cons of each new solution.

What happens when two critical areas of sustainability strategy come together?

If deployed at scale, circular economy strategies could remove billions of tons from our global carbon footprint, while also cutting costs and regenerating natural systems. Yet very few companies have combined circular projects with emission-reduction roadmaps. Leaders from organizations that have pioneered such approaches will explain how they overcame barriers to integrating these two critical areas of sustainability strategy, and what they have achieved by doing so.

Test your climate strategies in a global simulation of climate policy.

Think you can fix climate change? This is your chance to put your strategies to the test. In this small-group role-playing exercise, you and others participants will represent the view of key stakeholders in the climate debate, from conventional energy producers to climate justice hawks. Over multiple rounds, your team will be challenged to brainstorm strategies and cooperate — or not — with other interest groups. When time is up, you will be assessed against the question that matters: Did your strategies restrict global warming to no more than 2 degrees?

The deadline for net-zero is 2050, but there’s a more immediate milestone to hit first.

The science of drawdown tells us that all organizations have to achieve a 50 percent reduction in emissions by 2030 in order to limit global warming to no more than 1.5 degrees. That’s a significant challenge for many, but help is at hand. Leaders from companies that are well advanced on their journey toward this target will share details of the technologies, strategies and partnerships that are propelling them toward a 50 percent cut by the end of the decade — if not before.

The processes being developed to limit emissions from cryptocurrencies could help other sectors cut carbon from supply chains.

Bitcoin miners consume as much electricity as a small country, an unknown but significant fraction of which comes from fossil fuel plants. As awareness of the carbon-intensive nature of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies has risen, industry leaders have begun developing solutions. And the techniques involved could do more than slash crypto emissions. By learning how to track and trace carbon in crypto networks, these initiatives could help other industries to decarbonize their supply chains. Experts from the Crypto Climate Accord and other organizations will share their thoughts on how the crypto sector and others can move toward a low-carbon future.

Making a carbon commitment for your company can be challenging. Companies need to balance the timelines and expectations of many stakeholders with their own internal processes and strategies. They also need to disclose the right data through trusted channels. In this session, experts from OneTrust will share insights on the best practices for defining climate commitments and disclosing the data behind those goals.
