BITE-SIZED UPDATES FROM AROUND THE WORLD
MARKETS
2026 lookout – Colombian biodiversity credit developer Terrasos announced, last Sunday in its newsletter, a 2026 roadmap centred on scaling its technology infrastructure and international footprint. The company will launch a digital platform for the management, traceability, commercialisation, and reporting of biodiversity credits, it said. It also plans to open its first overseas office in Brazil to oversee a regional pilot with cosmetics giant Natura, while expanding technical work in Mozambique and Kenya focused on regulatory design and conservation finance mechanisms. In Colombia, Terrasos will continue registering new areas to support compliance demand in the habitat banking market.
A-rating – Colombia-based developer Biofix’s 2-mln ha Ilha do Bananal+ project in Brazil has secured an ‘A’ rating from MSCI under its Carbon Project Ratings framework, it announced on Monday on LinkedIn. Certified under Cercarbono, the project is located in the Amazon-Cerrado transition zone in the state of Tocantins. It includes both REDD+ and non-REDD+ activities in forest and wetland ecosystems. The project has already received 3.8 mln credits from Cercarbono. The rating signals alignment with institutional expectations on additionality, permanence risk mitigation, buffer design, and governance, executives from Biofix and MSCI said in a separate press release.
Soil stakes – The first credits from the soil carbon programme by US-based Veterans Carbon Holdings (VCH) have been issued, it was announced this week. The company says they are unique in relying on stratified soil sampling and third-party validation rather than satellite or practice-based modelling. The units were verified under BCarbon’s Soil Carbon Protocol v2.0 and will be serialised via DOVU’s blockchain infrastructure, while projecting expansion across 1.5-2 mln acres. VCH told Carbon Pulse that 200,000 credits relate to its 2024 enrolment and 206,000 to 2025 contracts under BCarbon’s 1 tonne-per-acre advance model.
CORPORATE
No smackerel of mackerel – Waitrose, a UK supermarket chain, will stop selling mackerel to allow populations to recover from overfishing, the BBC reported last week. Fresh, chilled, and frozen mackerel sourcing will cease from Apr. 29 with tinned sales also set to stop once existing stocks have sold. Waitrose sourced all its mackerel from the Northeast Atlantic, but said fish from the region no longer meets its sustainable sourcing standards. Members of the North-East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC) opposed in November limiting mackerel fishing in the area in line with the scientific recommendations of the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES). The EU at the time warned this would lead to severe mackerel overfishing in the Northeast Atlantic, where populations are already exploited beyond the ICES’ recommended level.
Long-eared bat – Environmentalists are sending up flares about the US Forest Service’s proposed Silver Brand Vegetation Management Project, according to Bridge Michigan. The 30-year projects is expected to log land roughly the size of Detroit, expand gravel mining, and build roads, potentially impacting habitat for the endangered northern long-eared bat. Environmentalists want to see the project boundary changed to preserve protected wilderness areas.
Regen ag – The Amsterdam-based Common Fund for Commodities (CFC) is open for applications for up to $1.5 mln in funding for projects that support smallholders while strengthening ecosystems and local economies. It is looking for applications by April 1 that connect farmers to markets, improve incomes, and regenerate landscapes. Priority areas include regenerative agriculture, biodiversity protection, and agricultural technology in least developed countries. The CFC is an autonomous intergovernmental financial institution established within the framework of the UN.
B Corp – CreditNature this week announced it has achieved B Corp certification. This demonstrates that it meets high standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability, said the company, among the early movers in the emerging nature credit market. CreditNature developed a methodology that allows the generation of nature credits through the measurement of various ecosystem health indicators.
Nature-positive investments – The Global Innovation Lab for Climate Finance announced last week that it will allocate $1.25 mln to initiatives reaching first close. Under this second cohort of grantees, the Pre-Seed Capital Facility supports climate finance solutions across Asia, Latin America, and Africa. The selected instruments include a debt fund targeting early- and growth-stage projects in Latin America and Southeast Asia that conserve, restore, and protect nature. Another is a blended finance debt vehicle designed to improve the bankability of regenerative businesses in the Brazilian Amazon.
Locked in – Isometric has introduced locked protocol requirements across all carbon removal pathways, it announced on Tuesday. This means that the project requirements in place at the start of registration are the same used for credit issuance throughout the project’s crediting period, and suppliers can plan with certainty, the registry said. Protocols will not be updated more frequently than once every six months, and will continue to evolve based on scientific advances, tech developments, and real-world rollouts. New projects must use the most recent certified protocol version available, and when Isometric releases updated protocol versions, existing projects can voluntarily adopt them. Read more.
Flying the carbon tab – Air New Zealand and Australia’s Qantas have disclosed carbon-related spending in their latest financial results. Air New Zealand provisioned NZD 13 mln ($7.8 mln) for CORSIA – the international aviation sector’s carbon offsetting scheme, NZD 12 mln on sustainable aviation fuel, and NZD 18 mln on New Zealand’s ETS fuel costs. Together these represented 5.6% of the airline’s total 2025 fuel expenses. Qantas said SAF consumption in the first half of its 2026 financial year doubled to 20 mln litres, and that it sources 100% of its domestic carbon credits from nature-based projects in Australia. Net carbon costs for Qantas totalled A$33 mln ($23.5 mln).
Ashes to assets – An Indonesian cooperative in Pasaman Barat, West Sumatra, has launched a biochar carbon credit project using agricultural waste including corn cobs, cocoa husks, and water hyacinth, Harian Haluan reported. The project is a joint venture between the Hidup Basamo Sepakat cooperative and Malaysian company Reclimate, and it has affiliations with both Gold Standard and Verra, according to the cooperative’s operations manager. The biochar, marketed as a soil amendment that stores CO2 long-term, is intended for export as carbon credits. The project aligns with Indonesia’s national target to cut GHG emissions by 43.2% by 2030.
Water NbS partnership – Non-profit Forest Trends have signed onto an MoU with the Association of Water and Sanitation Regulators of the Americas (ADERASA) and the Nature Conservancy (TNC) to strengthen the role of water utility regulators in advancing nature-based solutions (NbS) for water security across Latin America. The MoU, originally signed between ADERASA and TNC in Nov. 2024, recognises Forest Trends technical and strategic experience supporting regulators and utilities to integrate NbS into regulatory frameworks, planning processes, and investments in the drinking water sector. A central focus will be the co-creation and piloting of a regional benchmark to assess the condition and management of source waters that supply drinking water services. This is intended to help identify priority risks, gaps in action and investment, and the enabling conditions needed for NbS to effectively contribute to service reliability and climate resilience. Additional activities and areas of collaboration will be announced in the coming months, the partners said.
Drax pellets – Drax Group will stop burning Canadian wood at its Yorkshire-based power plant within the next year, the Guardian reported this week. The decision is due to Ottawa’s decision to place a tariff on its biomass exports, the UK power company said. Environmentalists have repeatedly raised concern over the burning of Canadian wood pellets at the Drax power plant in Yorkshire after an examination of the company’s supply chain suggested these were sourced from some of Canada’s more environmentally important old-growth forests. Drax has pushed back at these claims, telling the Guardian that it does not source biomass from designated areas of old growth. Also this week, Drax shares prices hit a near 20-year high, Reuters reported.
POLICY
Pasture promise – Kazakhstan has adopted a national concept to conserve biodiversity and ensure sustainable use of natural resources over 2026-35, Xinhua News reports. The ecology and natural resources ministry said the strategy aligns with the Convention on Biological Diversity and the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, prioritising ecosystem restoration, forest protection, wildlife monitoring, and addressing pasture degradation. Protected areas are set to expand from 31 mln to 33.2 mln hectares by 2035, while forest coverage will increase from 13.9 mln to 14.7 mln hectares.
Protecting the Caspian Sea – The UN Development Programme has launched a regional initiative to address marine litter in the Caspian Sea. The project is being implemented in partnership with the UN Environment Programme (UNEP), the Tehran Convention Secretariat, and the ministry of environment of Turkmenistan. Funded by Russia, the initiative will run through Oct. 2027 and be carried out in Azerbaijan, Iran, Kazakhstan, and Turkmenistan. It will focus primarily on tackling land-based sources of pollution affecting the Caspian Sea, while also promoting circular economy principles, life-cycle approaches, and greater investment in the waste management sector.
Circular economy policy – The Brazilian ministries of environment and industry have launched a circular economy initiative aimed at strengthening public policy and piloting projects in small and medium-sized enterprises, they announced on Monday. The CB-ACES programme will support regulatory development, technical capacity building, and investment mobilisation, while advancing pilot projects in strategic industrial value chains. Implemented in Brazil, Mexico, and South Africa, the initiative integrates climate mitigation, biodiversity conservation, and supply chain compliance, and is backed by international climate finance and technical partners.
Expanded horizons – Finland is looking to expand a national park to also include marine areas, the country’s ministry of the environment announced on Monday. The Eastern Gulf of Finland National Park, established in 1982, does not currently include off-coast areas. However, the expansion plans could see more than 60,000 ha of state-owned marine habitats added to the park. The ministry said it will kick off consultations with local stakeholders in March, informing the publication of a draft proposal later in the year. Legislation confirming the national park’s expansion could enter into force in 2027.
2050 harmony – The UNEP World Conservation Monitoring Centre (WCMC) has published its Strategy 2026-29 with a focus on catalysing action to achieve the ambitions of the Global Biodiversity Framework. The paper has sections on nature economy, nature-based solutions, conservation, digital transformation, policy, and science. The nature economy part focuses on governance, finance, and business action. Efforts globally must be redoubled to achieve a 2050 vision of living in harmony with nature, it said.
Greater grants – The Global Environment Facility approved a total of $520,000 under its small grants programme to 13 community-based wildlife economy projects in South Africa in Dec. 2025. It committed funding for three conservation zones in the northeast and south of the country: Greater iSimangaliso Wetland Park, the Greater Kruger-Limpopo, and the Greater Addo-Amathole, said programme manager UN Development Programme on Monday. Project implementation will take place over one to two years of activities including ecotourism, small-scale fisheries, waste management, and recycling.
Marshalling offsets – The Marshall Islands published its National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan late last week, hinting that biodiversity offsets could play a part in meeting its financing target under the Global Biodiversity Framework. In addition, the Pacific nation is looking at payments for ecosystem services, private benefit-sharing mechanisms, and official development finance for biodiversity to help implement its strategy. Spanning five islands and 29 low-lying coral atolls, the Marshall Islands are highly exposed to sea level rise.
Conservation cut? – The White House is reviewing a final rule that would revoke a conservation framework applied to federal rangelands, according to a regulatory filing, E&E News reports. The proposal, submitted by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA), seeks to rescind the conservation and landscape health rule that formally elevated conservation as a land use across BLM-managed lands. The move marks a key procedural step towards unwinding one of former president Joe Biden’s public lands policies, which critics argued risked constraining energy, mining, and grazing activity across the US West.
Plastic pushback – A federal district court judge in Oregon has put parts of that state’s single-use plastic law on hold while considering claims it violates antitrust and consumer protection laws, while 10 Republican attorneys general have sent letters threatening legal action against companies participating in plastics reduction initiatives. The Los Angeles Times reported that the letters were sent to companies including Costco and Coca-Cola for taking part in the Plastic Pact, the Consumer Goods Forum, and the Sustainable Packaging Coalition. At issue are extended producer responsibility laws, including California’s Senate Bill 54, the Plastic Pollution Prevention and Packaging Producer Responsibility Act, which shifts waste management costs to producers.
Ireland funding – Biodiversity projects across the Republic of Ireland will receive over €1 mln, the Minister of State for Nature, Heritage, and Biodiversity announced late last week. The funding will be shared between 53 community nature initiatives under the National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) Peatlands and Natura Community Engagement Scheme 2026. County Mayo in the West of Ireland is set to receive more than €43,000 for three projects, including one conserving endangered great yellow bumblebees, local media reported.
Amazon protection pact – The governments of Peru, Norway, Germany, and the UK have signed a new Joint Declaration of Intent to halt deforestation in the Amazon rainforest. According to Peru’s environment minister, Nelly Paredes del Castillo, the new phase of cooperation will accelerate measures to reduce emissions from deforestation and forest degradation, while also strengthening biodiversity conservation.
Brazil J-REDD+ implementation – The state of Para is continuing its free, prior, and informed consultation (FPIC) process on its jurisdictional REDD+ (J-REDD+) programme in the Brazilian Amazon. This week, the state government resumed consultations in the municipality of Cachoeira do Arari with Quilombola leaders, representative associations, local communities, and public authorities, it said in a press release. Last year, the State Secretariat for the Environment, Climate and Sustainability (Semas) concluded consultations with representatives from the extractive sector.
COP30 pledge formalised – Brazilian development bank BNDES and sustainable land management company Tree Agroflorestal (Tree+) signed on Monday a R$151.8 mln ($29.3 mln) financing agreement to support restoration of the Atlantic Forest. The deal had previously been announced during COP30 in Belem last November, with the expectation that the project will generate carbon credits. The resources will come from the National Climate Fund and are earmarked for the ecological restoration of 15,000 ha, mainly in the state of Rio de Janeiro.
COP30 roadmaps – The UNFCCC has opened a public call for comments on the two roadmaps announced by the COP30 Presidency last year: one on transitioning away from fossil fuels and another on halting and reversing deforestation. Parties, observers, and stakeholders may submit contributions until March 31.
New powers – England’s largest land manager, Forestry England, is now able to host renewable electricity projects under statutory powers that came into effect on Feb. 27. The organisation will work with Great British Energy to deliver renewable energy projects such as rooftop solar, with the income streams to support Forestry England’s goals for tree planting, woodland management, and wildlife support. There will no net loss of woodland area as a result, with new trees planted to compensate for any removed as a result of renewable projects. The generated energy will be sold to the national grid, supporting the UK’s clean power by 2030 goal. Forestry England manages the nation’s 1,500 woods and forests covering over 250,000 ha.
Reduced deforestation risk – The Brazilian Amazon state of Para cut deforestation alert areas by 40% to 488 sq. km between Aug. 2025 and Jan. 2026, down from 809 sq. km over the previous year, according to an official press release published this week. The decline outpaced the 35% reduction across the Amazonia Legal subregion. Separately, the state’s jurisdictional REDD+ system has completed 16 FPIC consultations to-date, of a planned 47, said the state environmental secretariat.
Para J-REDD+ update – The Secretariat of the Architecture for REDD+ Transactions (ART) published on Friday the Portuguese versions of documents related to the jurisdictional REDD+ (J-REDD+) programme of Para, a Brazilian state in the Amazon. Until now, they had only been available in English. The materials comprise the TREES Registration Document for the 2023-27 crediting period and a TREES Monitoring Report for 2023. Stakeholders will have 30 days to comment on the documents. Similarly, Tocantins’s documents were displayed in Portuguese earlier this month.
Nepal biochar tender – The UN Development Programme has launched a tender to support the creation of a commercial biochar enterprise in Nepal, seeking a contractor to develop a business plan and provide operational support, according to a notice published Feb. 23. The request for proposals is open until Mar. 10 and forms part of a broader programme to scale biochar deployment linked to climate and private sector development objectives.
Feeling blue planet – Several UK programmes intended to protect nature are likely to be substantially reduced, affecting funding in developing countries, according to the Guardian. These include the £500 mln Blue Planet Fund, the £100 mln Biodiverse Landscapes Fund, and the Climate and Ocean Adaptation and Sustainable Transition (COAST). The size of the cuts was difficult to gauge due to a lack of a transparency in international climate finance, said the outlet, which cites recent analysis by Campaign for Nature, in partnership with Conservation International UK. (Carbon Pulse)
SCIENCE & TECH
Opening up – The Carbon to Sea Initiative has launched the Interactive MRV Database to document how MRV is currently being conducted across five of the world’s earliest ocean alkalinity enhancement (OAE) field projects. OAE is an open-system CDR approach, meaning carbon uptake occurs gradually across space and time. Carbon to Sea said that while this makes it potentially scalable, it also creates challenges around measurement, attribution, and standardisation. Monitoring approaches vary depending on the OAE method used, the objectives of the research, and whether the project is led by academic researchers or private companies, it added.
Farm smarter – Smart farming technologies could improve agricultural sustainability but will not automatically deliver biodiversity gains, researchers have cautioned. Writing in NPJ Sustainable Agriculture this week, the authors said that tools such as sensors, AI, and automation must integrate explicit ecological targets into decision-making systems to ensure biodiversity is protected or restored while maintaining yields. They called for interdisciplinary research, targeted funding, farmer incentives, and stronger national and international policies to align agronomic efficiency with biodiversity objectives.
Environmental DNA – Lab consultancy SGS has launched an environmental DNA (eDNA) service in the UK that it said will transform how biodiversity is measured and understood across Britain. It said the science-led service will provide environmentalists across multiple industries with powerful assessment tools to measure the ecological impact of their projects and operations.
