On June 28th, PG&E will launch ClimateSmart — a first-of-its-kind voluntary program that will enable its customers to take action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and make their electricity and natural gas use entirely “climate neutral.”
CEO Tom King will host a press conference, followed by a symposium on the emerging voluntary carbon offset markets titled:
"Voluntary Carbon Offset Programs:
A License to Pollute or a Climate Change Remedy?"
PG&E cordially invites you to join policymakers, leading environmentalists, businesses and industry leaders as they openly discuss the benefits and challenges associated with these programs. Topics to be addressed include:
- The designing of voluntary carbon offset markets and programs
- The development of global standards and protocols
- Carbon offset project selection
- The value of carbon storage in trees and forests
- Program verification and accounting practices
