AlterCOP29

December 3, 2024

Pierre co-organized the AlterCOP day on Biodiversity, Carbon Markets & Nature-based Solutions.

The event was a huge success, featuring outstanding speakers coming from academia, NGOs and the corporate sector.

It brought a large crowd and got people talking about nature-based carbon management from different perspectives.

Many thanks to the organizers The Matcha Initiative and The Transmutation Principle.

We look forward to AlterCOP30!
