The Role of Nature Based Carbon Credits in Corporate Climate and Nature Strategies
Carbon credits can be a key component of corporate net-zero strategies, especially for addressing beyond value chain emissions. Among the available credit types, forestry carbon credits offer unique value by delivering critical ecosystem services and community co-benefits in addition to carbon sequestration.
However, increased scrutiny and concerns over greenwashing have raised important questions about the integrity of carbon markets, particularly in the forestry space.
This session will explore how companies can credibly integrate forestry carbon credits into their sustainability strategies and contribute to a more systemic, transformative climate approach that benefits both people and the planet.
