- Wed 23:39Your new beach awaits - A study in Nature, titled "Ocean warming threatens the viability of 60% of Antarctic ice shelves," found many shelves become non-viable if global warming exceeds 4.5C. In a high-warming scenario reaching 12C by 2300, 38 of 64 ice shelves- nearly 60% - will likely become non-viable, mainly from ocean-induced melt. These shelves restrain ice holding 10m of potential sea-level rise. Conversely, if warming stays below 2C, only one shelf is threatened by 2300.

- Wed 15:08A voluntary carbon crediting scheme has partnered with a South Korean government agency to scale nature-based solutions (NbS) and advance high-integrity carbon markets, it announced Wednesday.
- Wed 14:15Nature-based solutions are key to advancing wildfire management in Europe, as forests across the continent face increasing risks due to the ongoing climate crisis and shifts in land use, according to the European Environment Agency (EEA).
- Wed 10:45NbS collaboration - Government-backed Taiwan Carbon Solution Exchange (TCX) has signed an MoU with Taiwan Forestry Research Institute (TFRI), a government affiliate, to build an ecosystem for the development of natural carbon sinks, they announced Wednesday. The alliance will work on nature-based projects, talent development, and promote good industry practices. TFRI will also deepen its research on forestry methodologies under the domestic voluntary programme.
- Wed 05:23Agri carbon - Climate-tech startup Tourba, which develops soil-based carbon projects across Africa, has partnered with ThriveAgric, a Nigerian agritech company connecting smallholder farmers to finance and markets, to expand conservation agriculture practices in Nigeria, local outlet This Day reported. The collaboration will onboard farmers into Tourba’s carbon-farming programme, train them in regenerative methods, and set up 100 demonstration plots to showcase sustainable land-use models that improve yields while generating verified carbon credits, according to the outlet.
- Wed 03:12Venezuela's Second Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) was published on Tuesday by the UNFCCC, outlining the country's 2025-30 climate commitments without referring to any carbon market, taxing, or pricing mechanisms to achieve them – a notable omission given regional momentum around carbon markets in Latin America.
