The controversial climate tool funding real change | Sandeep Roy Choudhury

from TED Talks Daily

If a company plants trees to offset its pollution, is that climate progress — or is it greenwashing? Critics of carbon markets say it’s the latter. But Sandeep Roy Choudhury, who’s spent two decades financing climate projects from rural cookstoves to coastal forests, says the real failure is discouraging companies from even trying. Hear his case for why we shouldn’t let perfection block meaningful action on climate change. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
