In this episode of Discern Earth, I speak with my friend David LaGreca, a carbon markets expert at EcoEngineers, about his journey from dirtbag mountaineer living out of a tent to becoming a leading validator/verifier in the voluntary and compliance carbon markets, how his deep connection to nature through mountaineering shaped his moral principles, his 24 years of being a vegan, how he approaches developing rigorous standards for crediting emerging carbon dioxide removal pathways, and his thoughts on the viability of different CDR pathways and emerging biodiversity accounting and crediting frameworks.
