Carbon offsets, net zero emissions, carbon neutral; These are words that we hear more and more in today’s world. Some of the biggest companies, like Amazon, Shell, Unilever, and Google, are using offset programs to reach their sustainability goals. These ambitious promises sound great, but as average people wanting to save our planet, we want to know if the promises are true, do carbon offsets even work? Didi Pershouse is an expert in the fields of regenerative practices, land restoration and water restoration. But she’s also well-educated on the complex issues of carbon offsets and certifications. In this podcast we discuss the different approaches to deal with the climate emergency, whether it goes through carbon offsetting schemes or land and water restoration. Welcome to join our conversation. This podcast was produced as a final group assignment in the course Sustainable Organising in Times of Crises at Hanken School of Economics in the spring of 2024.
