Finite Carbon

We had a wonderful and meaningful time the World Forestry Center’s CANOPY Conference in #Portland last week. Here are our team’s takeaways: ? Forest owners and managers have a growing awareness of the need for #climate risk mitigation and #biodiversity. They are learning that healthy, biodiverse forests are more resilient to the impacts of climate change, such as droughts, fires, pests, and diseases, making them more viable as a long-term investment. ? The continued development of robust #carbonmarkets can play a pivotal role in supporting #sustainable forest management. By making carbon a forest revenue return driver, forest owners are incentivized to adopt healthy management, resulting in more diverse ecosystems, better logs, and a higher quality of life. Thank you to the incredible team that made this event possible and to the forestry investment and natural climate solutions professionals who joined. It was a pleasure! #canopy2024 #forestry #naturalclimatesolutions #innovation Picture (L-R) Dylan Jenkins, Caitlin Guthrie, and Dylan Murray

Jacob Handel, our Director of Forest Carbon Origination, participated in the expert panel, "Recognizing and Respecting the Rights of Indigenous Peoples in Sustainable Forestry Initiatives," at Forward Summit East last week. "The panel discussion was meaningful to me, as it touched on forestry, carbon markets, economic reconciliation and developing economic models that supports and prioritizes indigenous aspirations and desire to participate on a national scale. The dialogue was engaging, and I enjoyed hearing about and playing a role in uplifting the shared lived experiences related to Canada’s forests." - Jacob Handel #indigenousleadership #naturalclimatesolutions #forestry #carbonmarket

When our teammates headed to #portland this past week for the World Forestry Center’s annual CANOPY event, there was something that could not go unnoticed—the recent renovation of the mail terminal at Portland International Airport! Big shout-out to Vince Granato and his team at Port of Portland for a job incredibly well done. Vince explained at CANOPY, that in addition to carefully sourcing local timber for the refresh, they’ve even installed some live trees in the atrium! #innovation #leadership #forestry

??????We are excited to announce that Finite Carbon recently?achieved Bronze Level Certification in Partnership Accreditation in Indigenous Relations?(PAIR) from the Canadian Council for Indigenous Business.

David Stevenson, our Director of Canadian Operations,?highlights the importance of these relationships: "We work with many amazing communities, aiming to provide their members with a compelling, non-extractive economic value from their lands while preserving and prioritizing deeply held conservation and spiritual values for future generations." PAIR certification is the premier corporate social responsibility program with an emphasis on Indigenous relations and Bronze companies are recognized among hundreds of Canadian entities, acknowledging the commercial case for working with Indigenous businesses and communities.

?? It's National Forest Week in Canada! National Forest Week is led by Canadian Institute of Forestry / Institut forestier du Canada (CIF-IFC), promotes greater public awareness of Canada's forests as a valuable, renewable, and green resource. This year's theme "Two-Eyed Seeing: Welcoming all knowledge to sustain our forests," seeks to blend Indigenous knowledge with Western Science to enable stronger collaboration and innovation to sustain healthy forests for future generations. Several events are taking place across Canada this week (Sept. 22-28) to celebrate this year's theme and Canada's forests. Healthy forests are critical to the protection of our environment and to slowing the rate of #climatechange. In 2021, we expanded our work dedicated to protecting forests through the development of forest carbon projects into Canada. We are proud to join in celebrating National Forest Week.

Finite Carbon is proud to be a signatory on ACR at Winrock International’s open letter to future carbon credit buyers. Our Co-CEOs, Carrie Gombos and Brandon Vickery, share the belief that carbon credits should be included in any robust and diverse decarbonization strategy as they are an essential component for businesses’ unavoidable carbon footprint. We applaud ACR for bringing together a broad and diverse community of stakeholders to collaborate in calling for companies to take greater responsibility for the emissions they cannot reduce by purchasing and retiring high-quality carbon credits. ACR's letter notes that companies that are already utilizing carbon credits are 1.8 times more likely to be decarbonizing year-over-year, a key to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. Collectively, signatories stress the importance of investing in a diverse portfolio of credits, including nature-based solutions, to reduce nature loss and maximize impact to local communities. As such, we launched our Finite Carbon Marketplace earlier this year to help companies source forest carbon projects in an efficient and transparent manner. The letter, published in advance of New York Climate Week, can be read here in its?entirety: https://lnkd.in/e5cQkyY4 #forestry #carbonmarket #naturalclimatesolutions

Jacob Handel, Director of Forest Carbon Origination, will be attending next week in Rama First Nation, Orillia, Ontario (9/25 - 9/26). He shared his thoughts on the significant conference: "I am truly looking forward to attending the Forward Summit East and engaging in economic opportunities that build, promote, uplift, and sustain Indigenous communities. It’s inspiring to be part of an industry that delivers significant and unique economic benefits directly to these communities, while reinforcing the core values and principles that allow both the land and its people to thrive.” We hope to see you there! https://lnkd.in/gYajRc22 #indigenousleadership #naturalclimatesolutions #forestry #carbonmarket
