Carbon credits are a significant untapped opportunity for landscape architects and the communities they serve. In this webinar, global and national experts will explain:
- Why carbon markets are important and how they can deliver benefits for underserved communities in the U.S.
- How organizations are improving the integrity of carbon markets
- How carbon credits are being developed by Tribal communities and local governments in the U.S.

Discover how to participate in high-integrity carbon markets and make a positive climate contribution while continuing to lower your greenhouse gas emissions.
