SPOTLIGHT

What Happens in Paris Won’t Stay in Paris: A Guide to the Upcoming Climate Negotiations
- Liz Hardee, as published by TriplePundit

This December, delegates from both developed and developing countries will gather in Paris for what promises—one way or another—to be the most historic set of climate negotiations the world has ever seen. The stakes could not be higher. Most believe we have only a decade in which to take the actions that would put us on the right path.

FEATURE

Corporate Social Responsibility Buyers Should Look to the Forest
- Dick Kempka, as published by SBO

While offsetting greenhouse gas emissions may be the driving force behind the growing interest in voluntary carbon credits, it is important to recognize the many other benefits carbon projects provide. These additional benefits are particularly abundant for forestry projects, by far the largest and most attractive project type for corporate social responsibility programs.
