Drainage and repeated fires released large stores of ancient carbon from tropical peatlands in Indonesia over less than two decades, with the estimated loss reaching 30-41 kg of carbon per square metre of affected peatland, researchers have found.

Flagging waning federal investment in marine carbon removal (mCDR), a non-profit published a roadmap on Monday with policy and regulatory changes the US needs to implement to advance to the million-tonne scale of deployment.

Brazil should consider an Article 6 strategy that allows the export of carbon credits while retaining 50% of mitigation outcomes for domestic climate targets, carbon trading industry group IETA said in a new report.

A major carbon removal (CDR) registry will evolve to issue three different classes of credits, it said Tuesday, after announcing plans to certify units under the EU’s Carbon Removals and Carbon Farming (CRCF) scheme.

Benin has raised its climate ambition under a newly submitted Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC), pledging to cut greenhouse gas emissions by one-third over the next decade while positioning itself to tap international carbon markets under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement.

Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from North American agricultural soils amended with organic fertilisers are substantially lower on average than the default factors used in international greenhouse gas inventories, though certain manure types and management practices remain significant emissions hotspots, according to a new study.

Concentration among a handful of buyers, weakening prices, and policy uncertainty are threatening the scale-up of carbon removal (CDR) despite recent growth in the sector, according to a report released on Tuesday.

A developer of enhanced rock weathering projects has worked with Formula 1 racing engineers on a new soil carbon measurement process that significantly reduces sampling time and associated emissions.

Verra has approved its first-ever government-led REDD+ project, a milestone as countries seek to monetise the avoided deforestation sector under jurisdictional carbon crediting.

Tourists on safari in South Africa can now offset their carbon emissions through a new partnership between a luxury tour firm and a grassland restoration project certified under Verra’s VM0042.

Feedback sought – Carbon Registry-India (CR-I), a voluntary carbon crediting programme operated by the Network for Certification and Conservation of Forests (NCCF), has opened a public consultation for the Piplantri Tree Plantation Project (CRI30023IN), an afforestation and land restoration initiative in the western state of Rajasthan. The project aims to convert degraded and under-utilised land into forested landscapes that can sequester carbon, enhance biodiversity, and improve ecosystem services. Feedback has been invited from local communities, experts, government agencies, and other stakeholders before the project advances through the registry's approval process.

Starting now - Papua New Guinea has formally launched a $63.4 mln Green Climate Fund-backed programme announced last year. The programme aims to channel results-based payments from forest emissions reductions into community development and conservation activities. It recognises 17 Mt of emissions reductions achieved between 2014-16 and will direct 60% of funding to locals and low-emission development. The initiative is being implemented by the UN FAO in partnership with Papua New Guinea's Climate Change and Development Authority under the country's national REDD+ strategy.

Canadian climate policy is at a crossroads, and without intervention, the country risks being left behind, attendees of Toronto Climate Week heard on Monday.
