Improving Biodiversity and Communities With Net-Zero Goals

Date/Time: May 20, 2021 (1-2PM ET / 10-11AM PT)

Join GreenBiz, SilviaTerra, and Environmental Defense Fund for a discussion about the correlation between climate change, biodiversity, and community.

Every year, more and more organizations pledge to go net-zero. These goals can drive impact beyond climate — from strengthening of rural communities to improving habitats for biodiversity. But understanding and measuring this impact can be tough. 

In this one-hour webcast, the speakers will provide insight into how carbon levels impact the people and wildlife of an environment. Then they will demonstrate how carbon offset projects can lead to a positive and comprehensive environmental, wildlife habitat, and social impact.

Among the topics:

• How a corporate net-zero commitment can lead to comprehensive environmental and social impact
• The framework for evaluating a co-benefit project
• Approaches for measuring a company’s co-benefit efforts

Moderator:

• Heather Clancy, Vice President, Editorial Director, GreenBiz Group

Speakers:

• Zack Parisa, CEO, SilviaTerra
• Dr. Suzi Kerr, Chief Economist, Environmental Defense Fund
