In this video, Oliver outlines why nature-based solutions could combat emissions produced by institutions slowly transitioning to net-zero. Oliver also discusses why offsets will need to eventually include mechanisms that remove carbon from the atmosphere and why it is vital that institutions invest in nature now. He further explores the broadening scope of nature-based solutions and gives examples of how these alternative solutions can be very beneficial to the environment.

One of the biggest challenges combating industry-related carbon emissions today is the transition process to a net-zero pathway. Carbon offsetting can be effectively used to reduce the carbon footprint of institutions that cannot immediately transition to net-zero. It works by allowing institutions to ‘offset’ or compensate for emissions created in one location by reducing or capturing emissions elsewhere.
