investESG: New research: Carbon credits are associated with businesses decarbonizing faster | Forest Trends’ Ecosystem Marketplace

The study indicates that not only are carbon credits purchases funding rapid climate action, but are also associated with companies that are already addressing climate change in their direct operations and throughout their value chains.
