Strategies to avoid and reduce emitting harmful greenhouse gases are a priority in the transition to net zero. Where organisations can’t completely eliminate emissions, offsetting is one way to neutralise them. In partnership with the Deloitte Academy, this webinar discussed nature-based carbon offsetting solutions. People often think about reforestation when they think about offsets. In this session we explored an alternative option: whale conservation. Presentation available.
