Streamed live on Tues, August 27th, 12pm EST
This week This Is CDR welcomes Stacy Kauk and Neil Hacker of Isometric, a global carbon credit certification platform that empowers buyers to meet their climate commitments with the world’s most scientifically rigorous carbon credits. Stacy and Neil will provide an overview of what Isometric does; how is different from other registries, with their focus on scientific rigor, transparency, aligned incentives and speed; what quality means when it comes to carbon credits; and Isometric's modular approach to protocol development and what protocols have launched recently.
