Closing the Carbon Market Supply Gap
A recent study by Bank of America showed there's a massive carbon market gap to close if we intend to limit global temperature increases to 1.5C: offsets issued in 2020 equaled only 0.4% of total global emissions, suggesting that offset supply will need to grow around 50x by 2050 to achieve net-zero emissions. This panel of experts from the carbon offset project development space will discuss efforts to close this gap, challenges in developing projects and issuing credits at scale.
