Why forest conservation cannot wait for perfect carbon markets

Nathan Truitt, executive vice president of climate funding at the American Forest Foundation, talks with Ian Welsh about how climate finance can unlock sustainable management of family-owned forests in the US. They discuss why carbon finance remains critical despite controversy over carbon credits, arguing that action should not wait for perfect systems. The conversation explores carbon pricing, credit quality, the role of standards and buyers and why scaling credible forest-based climate solutions will depend as much on financial infrastructure as on science.
