Carbon offsetting 101: tackling climate change with nature

Knowing the difference between the terms and methods of reducing and removing your footprint plays a vital role when mitigating climate change. That said, as a business traveler or as an individual it can be difficult to understand the actual impact you have or how you can change. So how do we make sure that we do it right? And why does it matter? 

We did a webinar with CEO of Verra, David Antonioli, to dig deep into carbon offsetting, nature based solutions and verification. To give a recap of the webinar, we collected some of our favorite quotes and highlights - Enjoy!

Learn about Verra

At Goodwings, we’re on a mission to verifiably remove travel emissions through nature-based solutions. To do so, we partner with a VCS-certified CO2 removal project. The non-profit organization Verra, develops and administers the VCS program. But what does that mean? David, the CEO of Verra, gives us some insight into their work in this quote.

Is carbon offsetting enough?

There has been a rising awareness towards solutions like carbon offsetting to cut emissions and contributing to tackling climate change - but is carbon offsetting alone enough to tackle climate change?

According to both David and Christian, we cannot solely rely on carbon offsetting. We need to supplement it and align it with our own individual behavior.

The future of nature based solutions

Have you ever wanted to look into the crystal ball to see what the future brings, when it comes to nature based solutions to climate change? Then now is your chance. In this short clip, David sheds light on some of the latest carbon offsetting innovations, and the future boundaries and opportunities for removing carbon.
