"Because of what we accomplished in the UAE 🇦🇪 Consensus, with a transition away from fossil fuel and accelerating in this decade, and sticking with 1.5 as close as we possibly can, I believe we have this incredible new blueprint for what everybody needs to be doing." - John Kerry in his remarks upon receiving the ACR Climate Leadership Award from Mary Grady.

What are some of the reasons that you should buy carbon credits? 1️⃣ Companies buying carbon credits are 1.8 times more likely to be decarbonizing year-over-year. 2️⃣ Only 18% of committed companies are on track to meet their Paris-aligned targets. 3️⃣ Carbon markets have a critical role to play alongside supply emissions reductions. 4️⃣ Carbon credits can help companies decarbonize faster, with greater efficiency that increases ambition. More business leadership is urgently needed.

The team from Winrock International was busy at Climate Week NYC. Here's a roundup of our activities, including a panel we co-hosted with Weyerhaeuser with Mary Grady, Jason Gibson, Peter Ellis, and David Ford.
This year marked the 15th annual convening of #ClimateWeek NYC, an event held alongside the U.N. General Assembly in New York City that brings together leaders from across sectors to champion inclusive climate action. We asked some of the Winrock leaders who attended Climate Week NYC to answer a few questions and provide some takeaways from their participation: https://lnkd.in/ebhDupkv Mary Grady, Steve Brunn, Patricia McCall, Pedro Ribeiro Piffer, Christina Magerkurth, Colin Quinn
