Trees on the Timeline: Where Forests Fit into SBTI's New Carbon Removal Mandate
As the Science Based Targets initiative significantly sharpens its expectations around carbon removal, many companies are asking a timely question: where do forests fit? Trees on the Timeline will explore how forest-based carbon removal align with SBTI’s new mandate, what role nature-based solutions can realistically play in net-zero planning, and how businesses should think about timing, credibility, and long-term impact.
Hosted by Jeremy Manion (Managing Director, Carbon Markets at the Arbor Day Foundation) and Ben Rattenbury (VP, Policy at Sylvera) at Corporate Investments into Forestry & Biodiversity (CIFB) - London*, this session is designed for those navigating the practical and strategic implications of carbon removal guidance. Expect a focused conversation on the opportunities and limitations of forest pathways, along with useful perspective for anyone building a serious climate strategy in a rapidly changing policy landscape.
