Green tariffs, PPAs, Offsetting and Insetting
Climate change is changing our planet and society and we need to reduce our emissions fast. One way to do this is to for people to sign up to green energy tariffs, and offset their carbon emissions. Companies and organisations can sign up to renewable energy power purchase agreements and inset their emissions.
But what do these actions achieve on the ground? What is their impact? Do they create positive change and reduce our greenhouse gas contributions? What are the advantages and disadvantages of acting in this way? Is it lot of greenwash?
Join our trio of speakers who will draw on their expertise and briefly cover these topics before answering your questions.
