"It's turned into almost a holy war at this point — of sort of warring ideologies of what the 'right' theory of change is to address the #climate crisis." Saturday, High Tide Foundation's Managing Director of Carbon Policy and Markets Initiative, Alexia Kelly, joined David Greely on Carbon Frontiers for a conversation covering viable pathways to bridge the widening divide between science, the environmental community and the real economy for meaningful #climateaction. In the episode, she and Greely discuss how the recent statement from the board of the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) that it will consider recognizing environmental attribute certificates, including #carboncredits, for abatement purposes in tackling value chain emissions illustrates the tension currently present in the environmental community about which theory of change is 'best' or 'right.' Kelly tells us: "From my perspective, they're both right. We need to do all of these things and we need to do them simultaneously, but we also need to recognize that there are going to be limits to both the level and degree of #decarbonization that companies are going to be able to drive within their supply chains. It's a real conundrum, and it's a real and honest and legitimate debate that we're having, that doesn't necessarily have a right answer. At the end of the day, it's just going to be: where can we get the most folks aligned around a common landing zone?" #carbonmarkets #carbonfinance #climaterisk #emissionsreduction #smartermarkets
