Carbon markets have been framed by some as a tool for mitigating climate change, redistributing global wealth, and driving access to capital for green businesses. Others argue that these markets—which aim to reduce carbon emissions by putting a price on carbon—exacerbate the social and environmental challenges in the transition to an equitable and sustainable future. Join the Skoll Foundation for this interactive session to explore the nuanced opportunities and tensions surrounding the Carbon Market. This highly interactive session will use the Creative Tensions format inspired by our friends at IDEO.org, where participants share where they stand on an issue by where they move in the room. Come ready to engage and exchange!
