- Sat 01:04More than 73% of the credits retired from the voluntary carbon market (VCM) have stayed inside the country, found a new report presented Friday during the Colombia Carbon Forum, signaling high dependence on the offsetting mechanism of the carbon tax and a need to enter new markets.

- Fri 12:08Belize has sharply revised its forest carbon baseline after a UN review process, abandoning a controversial “zero” benchmark in favour of a negative reference level that better reflects historical trends and enables access to results-based climate finance.
- Fri 11:46Brokers in the voluntary carbon market are seeing a growth in multi-year offtakes from corporate buyers who have become more selective in their procurement, and are seeking nature-based removals in particular, they told Carbon Pulse.
- Fri 10:37Irrigated agriculture in the US could deliver deep emissions cuts at little additional cost by shifting away from diesel and deploying solar-powered electric pumps, but achieving full net zero would require a sharp rise in spending and infrastructure, according to a new study.
- Fri 10:31Trials begin - Indonesia has opened trials for its new Carbon Unit Registry System (SRUK) ahead of a planned July launch, inviting project developers to begin submitting data, national news agency Antara reported, citing officials.
