Vanessa will discuss the lack of diversity in the outdoors and the impacts of the climate crisis on communities of color. \nWhat is the Nature Gap? Nature is supposed to be a “great equalizer” whose services are free\, universal\, and accessible to all humans without discrimination. In reality\,  American society distributes nature’s benefits—and the effects of its destruction and decline—unequally by race\, income\, and age. The United States has fewer forests\, streams\, wetlands\, and other natural places near where Black\, Latino\, and Asian American people live. Notably\, families with children—especially families of color with children—have less access to nature nearby than the rest of the country. In other words\, these communities are nature deprived. These disparities are particularly concerning because nature is not an amenity but a necessity for everyone’s health and well-being.” \nLearn more about the Nature Gap here. \n\n\nAbout Vanessa: \n \nVanessa Muñoz is the Conservation Program Manager at Hispanic Access Foundation. Much like her organization\, she believes in cultivating a society with equitable access to nature and amplifying the voices of underrepresented communities. She recognizes the inherent connection that exists between communities and their natural surroundings. Vanessa also believes in empowering individuals to address environmental injustice. During her free time\, she likes hiking\, bird watching\, and reading. \nClick here to register.

These principles govern how the projects are implemented\, how the management is carried out\, and how the credits are sold and traded on the carbon market. \nThis presentation will provide an overview of carbon markets\, the necessary tools to understand how projects are developed conceptually\, and what to look for in a high-quality carbon offset credit. \nClick here to register today. \nAbout Lucas Clay\, PhD Candidate: Lucas is currently a PhD Student at Clemson University in the Department of Forestry and Environmental Conservation\, studying carbon finance\, economics\, and ecosystem services. His research involves quantifying carbon sequestration at the plot level through on-the-ground carbon measurement and at the landscape level through eddy covariance towers and satellite sensors. Through Clemson Cooperative Extension\, he also works with landowners to understand current carbon markets\, project implementation\, and principles while also developing carbon project protocols for reforestation\, regenerative agriculture\, and blue carbon. Lucas completed his Master’s degree at Clemson in Forest Economics and his undergrad at Ball State University in Natural Resources and Environmental Management.
