Will Clayton on Christianity, Carbon Markets, and Purpose

In this episode I speak with Will Clayton, CEO of Sky Harvest, a forest carbon project developer that incentivizes small landowners to avoid harvesting their trees for climate impact. We discuss:* How his Christian upbringing shapes his current work in environmental markets.* How growing up in North Carolina's forests through scouting and hiking fostered his deep connection to nature.* His experience at BCG and how it shaped his approach to problem-solving in the environmental space.* Why the carbon market's failure to account for the time value of climate action represents a fundamental flaw that Sky Harvest is working to address.* The challenges of balancing ambition with what truly matters in life. This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit discernearth.substack.com
