  • Season Finale: Live from Climate Week
    Our Season One finale brings you a debate about the pace of the energy transition that was recorded live at NYC Climate Week three weeks ago.  How fast is the transition progressing, really?  And why might there be divergent opinions on the subject? The debate was co-moderated by James Lawler and Dina Cappiello (RMI), and features RMI’s Kingsmill Bond and Bain’s Aaron Denman. We look forward to your thoughts and questions, as always, and we look forward to being in touch with all of you again in 2025.Follow us on Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram.Contact us at [email protected] our website for all of our content and sources for each episode.

  • Navigating Recent Changes to Voluntary Carbon Markets
    Voluntary Carbon Markets, or VCM, are the decentralized marketplaces where carbon credits, used to offset greenhouse gas emissions are traded. Each credit offsets a metric ton of carbon dioxide emissions. The VCM has existed since the 1980s with recent updates to the types of activities that count as offsets.On July 30 of this year, the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) updated their recommendations for corporate carbon accounting standards that affect how corporations should count carbon offsets towards their net-zero goals. Dr. Jennifer Jenkins, chief science officer at Rubicon Carbon, joined us to talk about changes to the VCM and how they affect the way corporations can use carbon credits to meet their net-zero goals.Follow us on Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram.Contact us at [email protected] our website for all of our content and sources for each episode.
