Carbon Offsetting and Climate Neutrality‚ Background and developments
Carbon offsetting has been an important, if sometimes contentious tool in achieving carbon neutrality. This webinar will provide an overview of the types of carbon offset solutions and considerations regarding their use in practice. It will outline the UNFCCC Climate Neutral Now programme to mobilise corporate climate action. Updates will be provided on key international developments.
Carbon offsetting has been an important, if sometimes contentious tool in declarations of carbon neutrality. This webinar provides an overview of the main types of carbon offset solutions and considerations for practitioners regarding their use in practice. It outlines the UNFCCC Climate Neutral Now programme, working internationally to mobilise corporate climate action. Updates were also be provided on important developments in the field of climate positive, carbon neutrality and related claims where offsetting schemes are utilised.
Speakers included;
- Miguel Naranjo, Programme Officer with the United Nations Climate Change Secretariat (Bonn, Germany)
- Claire Wigg, CEO of Zero Mission (Sweden)
- Nick Blyth, IEMA Policy Lead (UK)
This webinar will be valuable for all delegates working within energy or carbon reduction programmes, considering the role of carbon offsetting as a contribution towards zero carbon transitions.

Pledge to Net Zero - Creating the business case for fast climate action
Hosted during week 2 of COP26, this panel discussion focused on how to build a business case around taking action on climate change.
The Low Carbon Construction event hosted by the Yorkshire and Humberside regional network, looked into how building back better presents an opportunity to do things differently. In particular, it provides an opportunity to address some of the challenges presented by the decarbonisation agenda.
This webinar provided a unique first-hand briefing on this important development in the build up to COP26 and outlined progress and proposals developing through the Taskforce, along with practice informed perspectives on the potential of carbon markets both globally and for organisations.
In this webinar, we learned about the outcomes of this review, considerations identified across carbon offset and ‘compensation’ solutions, and implications of the findings for those developing their carbon offsetting programmes. The webinar focused on the context of the Environment Agency.
Now that it's been almost two years since the flurry of climate emergency declarations were made by multiple organisations across our region and as COP26 approaches, we took a look at the challenges and the opportunities that have been encountered by public sector organisations in leading climate emergency response at local level.
In this webinar, Thomas Hale from University of Oxford outlined the Oxford Principles for Net Zero Aligned Carbon Offsetting.
Our Midlands Race to Zero webinar featured speakers discussing the topic of net zero and answer questions about this very current and challenging agenda.
The second day of online delivery of Scotland’s EIA Conference saw three experienced presenters discuss their views on EIA’s progress in different aspects of climate change and nature enhancement goals.
