- Wed 23:42The voluntary carbon market is shifting toward higher integrity through the adoption of the Core Carbon Principles, but project developers - especially in nature-based solutions - face challenges in aligning with these standards and call for clearer guidance, greater feasibility, and stronger collaboration to scale adoption.
- Wed 23:34A Canadian-headquartered timber company has been severely hit by a lack of carbon credit sales in the first half of this year, a sharp contrast to the C$24.6 mln in offset revenue recognised in H1 2024.
- Wed 23:25The state of New Jersey began accepting applications this week for a second round of grants totalling $30 million for nature-based climate solutions.
- Wed 23:10Costa Rica’s net forest emissions baseline figure under the UNFCCC REDD+ framework has come in at 76,938 tonnes CO2, suggesting its forests were net emitters – not a significant carbon sink, as per the country’s original calculations – according to a UN report published Wednesday.
- Wed 22:50Brazil’s Ministry of Environment published on Tuesday a resolution that puts REDD+ credits one step closer to being able to become part of the national emissions trading system (Portuguese: SBCE), and of concessions of public lands for carbon credit projects.
- Wed 17:49Gold Standard has unveiled a new carbon crediting methodology to tackle methane emissions from cattle via wearable technologies that convert the high-polluting gas into those with lower global warming potential, such as CO2.
- Wed 16:31Google's AI research lab DeepMind has unveiled a new earth monitoring model that compresses huge amounts of data to create more accurate, comprehensive pictures of earth, which may help with carbon project monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV).
- Wed 16:01The fast-moving remote sensing revolution in forest management should undergo an artificial intelligence (AI) transformation, according to a tech firm that is now offering a free open source model to speed up progress in the space.
- Wed 15:37Russia will aim to reduce its GHG emissions 65-67% by 2035, compared to a 1990 baseline, according to a new decree signed by President Vladimir Putin, the national news agency reported Wednesday.
- Several stakeholders, including the UN Environment Programme (UNEP), have taken aim at a new draft permanence standard that forms part of the governance process for the new Paris Agreement Crediting Mechanism (PACM), arguing that the text is so strict it may deter interest in Article 6.
- Wed 14:56A new application round has launched to secure funding from major global corporates looking to invest in durable carbon removal projects.
- Wed 13:08A recent study has found that the practice of enhanced rock weathering has mixed results on the amount of CO2 released from the ground, and is highly dependent on the context in which the carbon removal is rolled out.
- Wed 12:34A new carbon standard has launched an updated version of its Afforestation, Reforestation and Revegetation (ARR) methodology for crediting forest restoration projects, in a bid to rival Verra’s dominance of the sector.
- Wed 11:38Canadian-grown rapeseed, wheat, and peas have significantly lower carbon footprints than equivalent crops produced in major exporting countries such as Germany, France, the US, and Australia, a new study has found, even when factoring in transoceanic shipping emissions.
- Wed 11:14Greenhouse gas emissions from European dairy farming may be significantly underestimated due to the widespread omission of drained peatlands from carbon footprint assessments, according to a new study.
- Wed 01:17Oil and gas majors are using CO2 removal (CDR) as a tool to continue fossil fuel development, hedge against climate policy, and delay decarbonisation, according to new research.
