- Tue 23:53Failing to expand Indigenous and protected lands in Brazil's Amazon could trigger a surge in deforestation, according to analysis released Tuesday, however designating some 63.4 million hectares more could result in 1.2 billion tonnes of CO2 equivalent in avoided emissions by 2030.
- Tue 21:26The founder of a carbon ratings agency noted the growing interest in corporate buyers in carbon removals of super pollutants during VERGE, a series within the Trellis Impact 2025 conference, on Tuesday.
- Tue 21:18New data from a global land-monitoring consortium show that carbon offset projects account for nearly 9 million hectares of large-scale land acquisitions across the Global South, prompting warnings that these investments can threaten local land rights and access in the absence of strong safeguards.Â
- Tue 18:09Senegal blue carbon milestone – US-based offset supplier Karbon-X has completed mangrove planting across 7,000 hectares in Senegal under the ABC Mangrove Project (VCS4563) with partner Woodside Energy, marking one of West Africa’s largest community-led restoration efforts. The initiative, developed through Karbon-X’s ALLCOT arm, is expected to deliver just shy of 2.9 MtCO2 reductions over its lifetime while generating verified blue carbon credits. Thousands of local residents have taken part in the project, which the firm said aims to support long-term ecosystem recovery and community livelihoods.Â
- Tue 16:46Climate scientists have unveiled a new scenario calling for steeper emission cuts and stronger protection of natural carbon sinks to counteract the world’s impending breach of 1.5C of warming, which they say is now unavoidable due to insufficient progress in cutting emissions.
- Tue 13:13Zambia aims to cut greenhouse gas emissions by up to 47% below business-as-usual (BAU) levels by 2030, and plans to tap carbon markets under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement to help meet its conditional target, according to its latest Paris Agreement contribution.Â
- Tue 12:22The Enhanced Weathering Alliance has expanded its activities under the coordination of the Carbon Business Council (CO2BC), uniting stakeholder organisations to advance enhanced weathering as a key CO2 removals pathway.
- Tue 09:54Temasek-owned decarbonisation investment platform GenZero has joined one of the world’s largest timberland managers in a major reforestation drive across Latin America.
- Tue 07:06The Portuguese government officially launched the country’s national voluntary carbon market (VCM) on Friday, providing a new digital platform to register transactions, with the first approved methodology focusing on the expansion of forest carbon sinks.
- Tue 07:00National contributions to the Paris Agreement are helping to gradually bend down the curve of emissions, but not nearly fast enough, according to the UN's synthesis of the latest batch of pledges from just around one-third of the parties that have signed up to the accord.
- Tue 03:21Mozambique has sharply revised down its reported forest-based emission reductions after UN experts found inconsistencies in its original REDD+ calculations, with the updated results now deemed transparent, consistent, and technically sound, according to a UNFCCC report released Monday.
- Tue 02:04Entrenched power hierarchies, poor communication, and elite capture – where local leaders and influential families dominate decision-making and divert project benefits – have limited fair participation in a long-running Gola REDD+ programme in Sierra Leone, according to a new study.
