2025 Learning Exchange Series: Social and Ecological Impacts of Forest Carbon Offsets

June 17, 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. Forest carbon offsets come with a number of expected benefits but could also include unforeseen challenges with a need to ensure that negative social and ecological impacts of projects are limited.

The sixth webinar panel: "Social and Ecological Impacts of Forest Carbon Offsets" will feature an expert panel to discuss ways to improve and ensure social and ecological safeguards for forest carbon projects. Additionally, they will provide recent advances to ensure positive impacts are promoted while simultaneously reducing negative effects.

The full panel will be announced soon.
