With a steady parade of corporate carbon net-zero pledges released in 2020 and even more coming in 2021, there is an enormous demand for forest carbon credits. This is empowering local and global actors to drive climate impact and opens the door for biodiversity and wildlife habitats co-benefits to vital forest ecosystems.

However, there are many challenges to procuring credible forest carbon credits, especially because natural systems are so complex and measurements have historically been so expensive. Recent articles (Bloomberg, MIT Tech Review, Grist) and academic literature (Haya) have highlighted the issues that plague forest carbon projects, and many sophisticated buyers have begun avoiding forest carbon projects completely.

New remote-sensing technologies are creating data-driven market mechanisms that can solve these issues by empowering every landowner and every acre to be part of the climate solution.

Following the challenging, turbulent year that was 2020, what is the state of sustainable business in 2021? Join us for the release of the 14th annual edition of State of Green Business, GreenBiz Group’s award-winning annual report.

Each year, the report looks at key trends and metrics assessing how, and how much, companies are moving the needle on the world’s most pressing environmental challenges. The report is produced in partnership with Trucost, part of S&P Global, and covers the performance on the biggest publicly traded U.S. companies (S&P 500) and global players (S&P Global 1200).

In this one-hour webcast, coinciding with the report’s release, GreenBiz Group Chairman and Executive Editor Joel Makower and Trucost CEO Richard Mattison will provide insights into key trends and metrics in sustainable business, including new metrics introduced in this year’s report revealing companies’ revenue aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals, and how large companies' emissions align with a 2-degree carbon budget.
