Woodland Domestic Carbon Units Opportunities and Benefits
This IEMA Webinar will focus on the Woodland Carbon Code, the UK’s only domestic carbon standard. It will explain the product that is on offer and the opportunities and benefits of buying carbon units from a UK-based woodland creation project.
The Woodland Carbon Code, ranked 3rd voluntary carbon standard globally in 2014, is the UK’s only domestic carbon standard. This webinar will explain the standard, the types of woodland creation projects in the scheme, and the many social and environmental benefits they provide. It will present the Woodland Carbon Units on offer from these projects, and clarify how they can be used by companies to compensate their gross GHG emissions, or to help in claims of carbon neutrality. Businesses which have already purchased from such projects, including Waitrose, BWOC and the Green Investment Bank, will be showcased and the benefits these companies see of investing in UK woodland carbon projects will be explored. For those with an EIA or planning role, we will explain the carbon sequestration tools available online and consider how they might be applicable to this kind of work.
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.
