Another extension - The Brazilian state of Para’s environmental asset company CAAPP has extended, once again, the evaluation period for PMI No. 03/2025, which seeks to select a specialised technical partner to help raise resources and support the company’s institutional structuring and market intelligence development with regards to intermediating and commercialising jurisdictional REDD+ (JREDD) certificates. Citing the technical complexity of the proposals and the need for a thorough review by its executive board, CAAPP has prolonged the analysis phase from Nov. 10, 2025 to Feb. 23, 2026. The expression of interest was first launched in October, then extended in late November. The selected partner(s) must also structure strategies to sell future jurisdictional credits once they are independently verified, certified, issued, and after FPIC processes are concluded. CAAPP recently published a term of reference document formalising its decision to seek high-level external strategic advice before determining the final structuring model for the commercialisation of Para’s credits under PMI 03/2025. The ERPA that Para signed with Emergent/LEAF must be strictly observed, including the $15/tonne reference price and priority delivery of 12 Mt. Para accounts for roughly 40% of recent Brazilian Amazon deforestation and is seeking to scale its J-REDD efforts as part of a wider climate policy framework push.

Offset drought - Acadian Timber Corp.’s 2025 results were materially affected by the absence of carbon offset sales, which had been a significant earnings driver in 2024. According to full-year results published this week, in 2024 the company sold 752,100 voluntary carbon credits from its Anew – Katahdin Forestry Project in Maine, generating C$24.6 mln in revenue and C$19.8 mln in adjusted EBITDA. No carbon credits were sold in 2025, leading to a sharp year-on-year decline in adjusted EBITDA, which fell from C$38.9 mln to C$15.8 mln, with C$19.8 mln of that decrease attributable to the prior-year carbon credit contribution. The project is registered with ACR under an Improved Forest Management methodology and is currently being transitioned to Version 2.1 of the protocol, which introduces dynamic baselines. This transition has delayed registration of the next tranche of credits and may result in slightly fewer credits being issued than originally expected, though all are anticipated to qualify as carbon removal credits rather than conservation credits. Acadian said it expects additional credit registration in the near term and states that demand and pricing for voluntary carbon credits are expected to remain stable, while it also evaluates potential future projects under either Canadian compliance or voluntary standards.

Tree-mendous task - Brazil's Climate Plan allows agriculture and livestock emissions to remain largely stable through 2035 while relying on forest carbon absorption to meet national climate targets, Folha de Sao Paulo reported. The document projects agriculture sector emissions could rise 1% by 2030 and range from a 7% cut to 2% increase by 2035 compared to current levels. To achieve Brazil's NDC target of 59-67% emissions cuts versus 2005, the plan requires a 140% reduction in land-use change emissions from public areas by 2030. Energy and industrial sectors could increase emissions 44% and 34% respectively through 2035. Environmental organization Instituto Talanoa called the strategy insufficiently ambitious, describing it as the possible - rather than best - climate plan.

The European Commission has given the green light to Denmark's €1.04 billion state aid scheme supporting landowners rewild their agricultural land to reduce emissions, it said on Friday. 

Public awareness of carbon dioxide removal (CDR) is climbing sharply, but a knowledge gap is creating conditions for misinformation to spread and harden opposition before the industry can shape its own narrative, according to new research.

Carbon removal (CDR) buyers in 2025 sought hands-on portfolio support, delivery guarantees, high-quality durable credits, and flexible contract terms, a carbon removal solutions provider said in its annual market review.

An Edinburgh-based company closed an investment and grant funding round this week, securing $3 million for expanding its carbon removal operations.

In the works - Indonesia’s forest-rich Central Papua province has begun formalising its contribution to the national FOLU Net Sink 2030 target, holding a first workshop to draft a sub-national work plan aligned with Jakarta’s forestry and land-use mitigation goals, the Ministry of Forestry said. The province has 5.7 mln ha of forest, and will target mitigation actions across 3.6 mln ha, largely classified as high conservation value areas. Plans to establish 10 forest management units were scaled back to three due to fiscal constraints, the ministry said. In a seperate announcement, the ministry said that Indonesia and Norway on Thursday launched the fourth round of a community-based small grants programme to support FOLU Net Sink 2030 target. Norway has contributed $216 mln to Indonesia so far for verified emissions reductions from curbing deforestation
