How can buyers ensure that carbon credits protect biodiversity while sequestering emissions?
Demand for carbon credits derived from nature-based projects has skyrocketed over the past few years.

But research shows that offset projects are more impactful and resilient when designed with both carbon and biodiversity outcomes in mind — in addition to socioeconomic benefits for local communities. This session will guide buyers through the best practices for procuring nature-based solutions that produce multiple benefits.
