Offsetting HFCs - Chile is preparing a proposal to operationalise an emission standard for HFCs, bridging the gap between cooling and carbon markets, the country’s National Ozone Unit (NOU) under the Montreal Protocol posted to social media on Wednesday. The government unit is currently soliciting input from the public as an initial stage toward crafting a regulatory proposal. The future proposal will involve both MRV instruments and offsetting mechanisms linked to carbon markets, as per the post. HFCs were widely introduced as an alternative to ozone-depleting substances in refrigeration and air conditioning due to the Montreal Protocol (1987), but have since fallen under the Montreal Protocol’s Kigali Amendment (2016), which commits to an HFC phase-down due to their high global warming potential.

- Wed 10:42New blueprint for blue carbon deals - Blue Carbon Action Partnership, CrossBoundary Group, and Conservation International, endorsed by the Global Mangrove Alliance, have published a new guide for project proponents and financiers, Ocean Risk and Resilience Action Alliance said in a post on LinkedIn. Titled High‑Quality Blue Carbon: Guidance for Benefit‑Sharing Agreements, the resource draws on three case studies, showing how well‑designed agreements can help communities move from beneficiaries to partners, strengthening resilience, and long‑term financial sustainability in blue carbon projects.
