“Climate change increasingly affects all of Earth’s ecosystems and every aspect of our lives. We have a joint responsibility to take ownership of our contribution and to work individually and collectively for climate change mitigation and adaptation,” said Johanna Depenthal, Ph.D., Director of Project Research at Cool Effect. “This requires our best science and innovation and the best of us as humans. I admire Cool Effect’s commitment to supporting high integrity carbon credits and to raising the standard for environmental and social benefits across the market. I am excited to bring my scientific background and experience working with local communities to Cool Effect in my new role.”
