Book Pre-Order Window Opens for "Carbon Done Correctly: A Model for Climate Mitigation from the Global South to Wall Street"
Wednesday, September 20, 2023
Author Richard H. Lawrence, Jr. Shares Stories of the Unsung Heroes at the Front Lines of Climate Change and Outlines the Steps Needed for the Voluntary Carbon Market to Reach its Global Potential
NEW YORK, Sept. 20, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Richard H. Lawrence, Jr., seasoned investor and co-founder of several non-profit organizations with a specific focus on climate change mitigation, in partnership with publishing company Harriman House, is announcing that his second book titled "Carbon Done Correctly: A Model for Climate Mitigation from the Global South to Wall Street" is now available for pre-order via Amazon, Apple Books, and Barnes & Noble.
Lawrence's deep understanding of the Voluntary Carbon Market (VCM) and the importance of high-quality carbon credits doesn't just come from his decades of work reducing emissions and creating good on the ground with carbon projects -- it is also informed by the fact he has worked closely with many of the unsung heroes on the front lines of the fight against climate change. His compassion for the human element powering so much of this movement, backed by his four decades of investment expertise, gives him a unique perspective on how carbon, when "Done Correctly," can truly benefit the planet and its people.
"Richard Lawrence is a true climate hero. For someone with more than a full time job in finance, he spends a completely unreasonable amount of time, money, passion and creativity fighting for climate solutions. Here he focuses on the vital role voluntary carbon markets need to play; on the dedicated people who drive it forward; and on the need to blend integrity with practical market success," said Jeremy Grantham, Co-founder and Chairman, The Grantham Foundation for the Protection of the Environment.
The book will cover topics including:
-- The story of Proyecto Mirador, a non-profit established in 2004 to help
disadvantaged communities in rural Honduras, and how, from humble
beginnings, Proyecto Mirador forged the path to success as a leading
carbon mitigation project in Central America.
-- The founding of Cool Effect, a non-profit created in 2014 to connect
carbon projects with organizations seeking to meet climate goals with
carbon credits, and how Cool Effect provides what is needed, by both
buyers and sellers, to scale the market.
-- A proposed framework for improving and strengthening the VCM to
accelerate its advancement as a fully functional financial market.
"The VCM gives us a platform to mobilize billions of dollars of private capital into carbon-reducing projects across the globe, but for the VCM to succeed and reach its true global potential, transparency and quality must be at the heart of those projects," said Richard H. Lawrence, Jr., author of the book. "I hope that readers are inspired by the stories of the individuals combating climate change across the globe, and that this book can help to outline what is needed to scale the VCM so that it furthers the work of those people for the benefit of our planet."
