NACW Strategic Assessment: Public Survey

Introduction

The Climate Action Reserve is conducting a strategic assessment of the North American Carbon World (NACW) conference. As a nonprofit dedicated to addressing climate change at scale and speed, we strive to be prudent stewards of resources and maximize climate impact through our efforts and investments. As such, we aim to ensure that NACW continues to deliver meaningful value to the carbon market, our stakeholders, and the Reserve’s mission.

As the market evolves, we are evaluating the conference's purpose, audience, format, content, and long-term direction. Your feedback will help inform decisions about the future of NACW.

We invite you to be honest and candid in your responses – we welcome all suggestions and new ideas.
