SUMMARY:NFUniversity Climate Class: Understanding Emissions Trading\, Carbon Markets\, and Offsets
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the inaugural NFUniversity Climate Class\, where we will take a critical look at emissions trading and carbon markets. \n\n\n\nAbout this event\n\n\n\nIs it a good idea to use financial markets to trade soil carbon sequestration credits or tree planting credits to companies like Exxon in order to enable them to offset emissions or get to “net zero”? Is net zero even a credible concept? How should governments structure programs and payments designed to incentivize farmers to adopt practices that build soils? How can we better understand the carbon “offset” protocols now being developed by Canadian federal and provincial governments? \n\n\n\nAbout NFUniversity\n\n\n\nThe National Farmers Union is launching a series of monthly webinars wherein experts\, researchers\, farmers\, and others will provide advanced (but accessible) analysis and information to NFU members and the public on a range of topics\, including seeds\, livestock\, climate\, sustainability\, and justice. The sessions will build upon the foundational knowledge many NFU members and others already have and delve deeper into issues to raise our understanding to a higher level. The aim is to increase citizens’ capacities to analyze\, advocate\, and act. \n\n\n\nClasses will consist of approximately 90 minutes of presentations and Q and A\, followed by an informal discussion if participants wish to continue the conversation. \n\n\n\nSessions will be conducted in English\, with French interpretation provided.
