News » Taro Works Webinar: Using Mobile Tech and Carbon Offsets to Fuel Business
Carbon Credits Growth: The carbon credits market is growing with carbon offset “issuances and retirements” reaching record highs in 2017, according to a Forest Trends’ Ecosystem Marketplace report.
Turn Carbon Offsets Into Cash: Some innovative nonprofits and social enterprises – like TaroWorks’ client water purifier Impact Water and cookstove distributor Proyecto Mirador – generate funding for their operations from carbon offsets their work produces.
What Does It Take?: Before reaping the grain, organizations plant a lot of seeds in people, processes and technology for a carbon offsets program. How do you know if this investment will pay off? How should you use mobile and cloud-based technology like TaroWorks to help manage a carbon offsets system?
Panel: Panelists from across the carbon credits value chain joined the December installment of TaroWorks’ webinar series to discuss what organizations can do using mobile technology to help turn carbon offsets into cash that helps fund their operations

Carbon markets, particularly offsets, are shaking off their past and becoming a vital instrument for reaching CO2 reduction goals, protecting and conserving biodiversity at scale, as well as meeting many of the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
