As Earth’s temperatures surge and emissions reductions lag, the push to harness private capital for climate solutions intensifies. Enter the world of voluntary carbon offsets: an oft-debated solution.
Are carbon offsets a vital climate solution or a moral hazard? Dive deep into the complexities of this emerging topic during “Carbon Offsets: Promise, Perils, and the Path Forward,” a full-day conference bringing together prestigious guests from a variety of perspectives.
This event—organized by Brown professors Stephen Porder, James Kellner, and Ricardo Bayon—will feature a series of panel discussions and working groups aimed at unraveling nuances and guiding our community towards a better understanding of this evolving approach to tackling the climate crisis.
