- Thu 17:02Kenya's decision not to approve clean cookstove distributor Koko Networks' carbon project was unexpected for a company backed by the World Bank's political risk guarantee, which is specifically designed to prevent this kind of breakdown, according to experts.
- Thu 17:01A durable carbon removals (CDR) project developer on Thursday announced an offtake agreement with a carbon credit procurement company that involves 105,000 tonnes of CO2, destined for the aviation sector.
- Greener design - Urban Partners, a European urban investment manager, will partner with sustainability platform One Click LCA to embed lifecycle carbon data into design and material choices for new developments. The asset manager, formerly known as Nrep, will have access to One Click LCA's sustainability database for construction, to compare materials using verified data and evaluate CO2 emissions across a project’s full lifecycle. Doing so will help Urban Partners in its SBTi-validated goal to halve embodied emissions by 2030, relative to a 2022 baseline, stated the press release.
- Thu 10:18The Greenhouse Gas Protocol’s long-awaited Land Sector and Removals Standard (LSRS) has been broadly welcomed as a major step forward for corporate carbon accounting of agriculture- and land-related emissions, though questions remain over implementation details, traceability rules, and the exclusion of forest carbon.

Nature first - European businesses are being urged to invest in local nature-based carbon removal projects by the Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership (CISL). Doing so can help enhance their supply chain resilience and lower costs for reaching net zero, said its new report which calculates a tonne of carbon removal can be delivered for $10-15 via such projects. CISL highlights the private sector's dependence on ecosystem services that are rapidly degrading, with Europe’s bioeconomy directly supporting 5% of EU GDP and 8% of EU jobs in 2023. But this contribution is at risk with more than 80% of Europe's protected habitats considered in poor condition, while around two-thirds of its soil is degraded. Investing in nature-based solutions via supply chains can allow businesses to support their own ecosystem dependence whilst contributing to the EU goal to restore at least 30% of poor condition land by 2030.
