Buying offsets now and planning for later

February 15, 2023 | 9:00 a.m. - 10:00 a.m. MT
Breakout Session

Purchasing offsets can be confusing, and criticism is harsh for companies that get it wrong. Meanwhile, the cost of offsetting a ton of carbon could rise by five to one hundred times by 2030, according to a 2022 BloombergNEF study.

How can buyers meaningfully offset carbon now while planning for the future? What are the highest-quality offsets to buy, and which projects offer additional benefits?
