Hosted by: The Climate Registry

The path to carbon neutral may be complex, but that isn’t stopping businesses, governments, and organizations from pursuing this ambitious and important goal. This workshop explores the new frontier of making a carbon neutrality pledge: what that really means, establishing common language around carbon neutrality, and hearing from organizations who have committed to, or are working towards, this bold path to zero.
