Measuring Impact; don't know? Don't care! Margaret Kim, CEO, Gold Standard

ClimateGenn hosted by Nick Breeze

In this episode of Shaping The Future, I am speaking with Gold Standard CEO, Margaret Kim. Gold Standard sets the standard for climate positive implementation of a wide range of global-scale projects.

The global push to eradicate emissions means that activities and processes must be credible and effective if they are to build trust that we are on target to avert overshoot due to the billions of tonnes of human greenhouse gases emitted annually.

Margaret has enormous expertise in understanding the processes that solve these issues and also the reality of what it means if we fail to deliver.

Recent heatwaves and storm events are causing devastation across the world regardless of where people are located. The need for accelerated transformation of our society to one that absorbs rather than emits carbon has never been greater.
