"6 Min. to understand" section: Carbon credits: a tool or a sustainable illusion?

Episode description
French

Carbon credits: solution or smokescreen?

Can we really buy the right to pollute? This is the question behind carbon credits, these "vouchers" for emitting CO₂ in exchange for a check.

In this episode of " 6 minutes to understand ", Pierre Léonard unravels for us a system that is as complex as it is controversial. It guides us through the mechanics of carbon markets, between incentives to innovate and the risks of greenwashing.

  • A global market estimated at 35 billion euros.

  • A lever to reduce costs... Or clear your conscience?

An episode to better understand, evaluate, and above all: decide whether or not to integrate this tool into your climate strategy. Listen to it so as not to confuse action with smokescreen.

Note: The video version of this podcast offers a transcript with subtitles in French, Dutch, German, English and Spanish
