We’ve all heard that planting trees helps tackle climate change. But how do we make sure it actually works, and isn’t just more greenwashing?
In this episode of the Climate Confident podcast, I sit down with Lisett Luik, Co-Founder of Arbonics, to explore how nature and technology can work together to deliver real carbon removal at scale.
Lisett explains how Arbonics is helping landowners across Europe plant new forests and manage existing ones using cutting-edge data, satellite monitoring, and digital twins. We dive into the role of continuous cover forestry, biodiversity protection, and why Europe’s abandoned farmland holds massive potential for afforestation.
We also tackle the big question - can we trust carbon credits? Lisett shares how Arbonics uses dynamic baselines, data transparency, and EU regulations to improve trust in nature-based carbon markets.
If you’re interested in carbon removal, climate tech, forestry, or the future of carbon markets, this episode is for you.
