Amazon continues its carbon emissions crusade by hiring London Kemp Boykin as director of global sustainable development to implement practices that cut carbon and “deliver neighborhood benefits.”
“It’s about making smarter choices earlier,” Kemp Boykin said. “We can plan sites that help avoid carbon emissions and support biodiversity so they become assets for both Amazon and the communities around them.”
Amazon is looking at undeveloped land like forests and meadows and issuing ecological assessments showing traditional development could endanger biodiversity. They are piloting “regenerative strategies like creating pollinator corridors, capturing stormwater, and improving tree canopies to support cleaner air, healthier neighborhoods, and ecological resilience, so that ecosystems can better recover from shocks like extreme weather.”
Should “Natural Asset Companies” (NACs) be revived, these Amazon “regenerative strategies” could be enrolled in a NAC allowing them to make money from their investment and potentially giving them control of the actual real property, the land.
