Join Bee Net Zero partner Green Economy’s free demystifying carbon offsetting webinar to explore the debate surrounding its practice and gain a better understanding of what carbon offsetting means for your business.
The free webinar will take place on Tuesday 14 November 2023 at 12 noon.
As more businesses work towards net zero, you may see more and more options available to offset carbon emissions and reduce your impact on the environment. But what is carbon offsetting and how do you know whether it’s the right option for your Greater Manchester business?
Carbon offsetting is a tool that allows organisations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through various projects to compensate for emissions generated elsewhere. Carbon offsetting has garnered a great deal of attention recently, with one side of the debate arguing that it is an abused greenwashing tool, while the other contends that offsetting can be used effectively to fund the removal of harmful gases from the atmosphere.
Join Green Economy’s panel of experts as they discuss the evolution of carbon offsetting, the benefits and costs of offsetting projects, how your organisation could equip offsetting as a practical and effective climate tool, how to avoid greenwashing, and the problems offsetting can cause.
