Pulling Back the Curtain: Debunking the Myths of Nature-Based False Solutions
This webinar, hosted by Real Zero Europe on 13 October 2025, is the second in a series unpacking some of the most common false solutions to the climate crisis, and exploring the risks these approaches pose to people and the climate.
This session focuses on so-called nature-based and land-based approaches, and explores how these narratives can distract from real climate action, particularly in the EU context, and the risks they pose.
The webinar includes presentations from:
Joanna Cabello, SOMO – Carbon offsets
Sophie Scherger, IATP – Land-based offsets
Kelsey Perlman, Fern – Industrial forestry
Almuth Ernsting, Biofuelwatch – Biochar
Frederic Hache, Green Finance Observatory – Biodiversity offsets
