2025 Learning Exchange Series: Forest Carbon Offsets: Implications for the Forest Bioeconomy
May 13, 2025 2:00PM - 3:00PM
Zoom Webinar
The 2025 Forest + Climate Learning Exchange Series (LES) on forest carbon offsets, co-hosted by the Michigan State University Forest Carbon & Climate Program, Pennsylvania State University FOCCE Program, and the Society of American Foresters aims to bring leading experts in the forest carbon space together to not only identify major questions, barriers, and gaps surrounding carbon offsets and natural climate solutions, but to also work to solve the pressing issues of the field.
The LES’ paneled-webinar style talks encourage dialogue between thought leaders of diverse backgrounds to advance research priorities and identify paths forward.
The inclusion of carbon offset projects in the forest economy comes with a number of expected benefits but could also include unforeseen challenges. The fifth panel webinar “Forest Carbon Offsets: Implications for the Forest Bioeconomy” will feature experts to discuss around challenges with a view to designing research-based solutions to understanding challenges for existing forest industries, the cost-effectiveness of managing for carbon, and public perception influencing the price of carbon offsets.
The full panel will be announced soon.
