WHAT ABOUT OFFSETS? An effective incentive or a distraction from meaningful decarbonization? 34:49

8M ago34:49

34:49

Carbon offsetting is a carbon trading mechanism that allows entities to compensate for their residual carbon emissions by investing in projects that reduce, avoid, or remove emissions elsewhere. While this approach can contribute to climate goals, it often faces criticism for potentially allowing companies to sidestep substantial decarbonization ef…

WHAT ABOUT THE FINANCIAL COST? A burdensome expense or a worthwhile investment? 44:05

8M ago44:05

44:05

It’s too expensive to make the change, isn’t it? The financial cost of addressing climate change is often used as a reason not to act. However, while estimates for how much the green transition will cost are indeed high, these numbers are dwarfed by the increased social and economic costs that we will incur if we continue with business as usual. In…
