The Future of Carbon Offsets with Lisa Rosen, COO of Gold Standard

Gold Standard is a standard and certification body that works to catalyze more ambitious action for climate security and sustainable development. It was established in 2003 by WWF as a best practice standard to ensure projects that reduced carbon emissions also delivered sustainable development. Now with more than 80 NGO supporters and 1400+ projects worldwide, Gold Standard projects have created more than a billion dollars of shared value from climate and development action worldwide. But with the ambitions of the Paris Climate Agreement and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), it's not enough. Lisa Rosen, COO of The Gold Standard, will discuss the organization's strategy to make impact quantification and certification mainstream – from corporate sustainability to impact investing – in order to trigger the necessary transformational change.

Prior to joining The Gold Standard, Lisa was an environmental lawyer at the global law firm, Greenberg Traurig. She has a BA from Tufts and a JD from American University.
