This disbursement forms part of a broader R$151.8 mln commitment announced during COP30 last November. The funds will be used to restore 15,000 ha in the northern region of Rio de Janeiro.
- Tue 23:01Six European governments are leaning too heavily on carbon removal technologies to meet their climate targets, risking delays to essential emissions cuts and undermining the bloc’s long-term goals, according to a new analysis by a Brussels-based climate NGO.
- Tue 21:28Global losses of carbon from salt marshes have outpaced gains from restoration efforts over the past two decades, with degradation of mature, carbon-rich ecosystems outweighing expansion of newer, lower-density wetlands, according to a new study.
- Tue 18:57Peatland priorities – A study published in Communications Earth & Environment on Tuesday identified key research gaps needed to safeguard peatlands as a major global carbon store under mounting environmental pressure. The authors outlined 50 priority research questions based on input from 467 experts across 54 countries, providing a coordinated agenda for the next decade. Peatlands cover just 3-4% of land yet storing around one-third of global soil carbon, yet they continue to degrade. The study highlighted urgent needs spanning carbon dynamics, climate impacts, restoration, and policy.
- Tue 16:46A developer and an international buyer have signed a binding agreement for the purchase of at least 1.5 million nature-based credits from a Kenyan regenerative agroforestry project, in a deal covering its entire projected issuance.
- Tue 16:40BTG Pactual's Timberland Investment Group's (BTG Pactual TIG) Latin American Reforestation Strategy has closed more than $1.2 billion in fundraising, employing a model that seeks to promote scaling and generate millions of nature-based carbon removal (CDR) credits, it was announced Tuesday.
- Tue 15:08A coalition of carbon removal (CDR) proponents has called for the EU to include a clear share of negative emissions technologies as part of the international credits contribution towards the bloc's new 2040 climate goal.
- Tue 14:49Policies aimed at curbing deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon have failed to simultaneously address land degradation, which continues to affect carbon stocks, biodiversity, and ecosystem services, according to a new paper.
- Tue 14:00A soil carbon project in Mongolia developed by a US firm has become the first of its kind to receive a formal “no objection” decision under Japan’s Joint Crediting Mechanism (JCM).
- Tue 11:33New market - Japanese startup Sagri, which promotes regenerative agriculture and the creation of carbon credits, is looking to expand its business in Brazil, according to a company statement. The company, recently shortlisted for a startup programme, will receive support from the Brazilian government to work on soil organic carbon projects for major agricultural corporations in the South American country.
- Tue 07:20A Singapore-based climate tech firm has partnered with a geospatial data provider to develop nature-based carbon projects, the companies said last week.
- Tue 07:14A Philippines state-owned utility has signed a deal with a Singapore-based advisory to design carbon credit projects, aiming to monetise emissions reductions from its operations and tap new financing streams.
- Tue 01:07Colombia's environment ministry has published a long-awaited draft decree on social and environmental safeguards for mitigation activities in the Land Use, Land-Use Change and Forestry (LULUCF) sector, which also covers several provisions on project registration, benefit-sharing, baseline alignment, and crediting periods.
