Climate action made equitable

Mitigating climate change requires more than reducing emissions and removing carbon from the atmosphere. It requires addressing the unequal distribution of environmental benefits and burdens.

At Carbon Direct, we help you not only understand the principles of environmental and climate justice, but also develop decarbonization strategies that focus on achieving equitable outcomes.
