The Carbon Almanac is a once-in-a-lifetime collaboration between hundreds of writers, researchers, thinkers, and illustrators that focuses on what we know, what has come before, and what might happen next. Almanacs have been around since Benjamin Franklin, and even in the age of the web, they serve a useful function. Collecting relevant tables, facts, explanations, lists and history in a format that’s easy to reference and share gives us a chance to agree on what we agree on, a common foundation for moving forward.
CarbonBetter® helps businesses align environmental and financial goals when navigating the transition to a net-zero emissions future by measuring, reducing, reporting, and offsetting greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in a transparent way, supporting clients at every stage of their sustainability journey. We are part of a rapidly accelerating shift that will transform companies of all sizes and types. When one company makes a move in the right direction, others will too—and these incremental changes add up to massive impacts. Together, step by step, we’re building a movement.
