Top 10 Carbon Market Predictions
for 2015 from The Climate Trust
-The Climate Trust Team

The Climate Trust announced its second annual prediction list of 10 carbon market trends to watch in 2015. The trends, which range from increased climate change adaptation measures at the state and city-level to new protocols for agriculture and forestry, were identified by The Climate Trust based on interactions with their diverse group of working partners—government, utilities, project developers and large businesses. “We’re excited to once again look at the overall market with fresh eyes and identify areas of potential movement and growth.”

The Climate Trust Marks Progress with its Third Five-Year Report
-Sean Penrith

I had the pleasure of attending the presentation of our third five-year report by our director of programs, Sheldon Zakreski,  to the Oregon Energy Facility Siting Council in Hermiston late November. The Climate Trust's five-year report, “Plowing New Pathways: Developing Quality Offsets in a Maturing Market,” commends Oregon for having the foresight to enact a law that helps promote in-state economic development of innovative projects that mitigate climate change and preserve the environment for generations to come.
