Carbon custodians – The Satoyama Mace Initiative, a transnational climate action and sustainability platform hosted at Taiwan’s National Cheng Kung University and endorsed by the International Partnership for the Satoyama Initiative, has formally onboarded Bombay’s Indigenous Peoples Association (BIPA), which represents the East Indian/Mobaim Mulvasi Indigenous community in Mumbai, into the Global Indigenous Partnership for Climate Action (GIPCA). The move marks GIPCA’s first South Asian regional partnership and creates a collaboration focused on Indigenous stewardship, biodiversity conservation, and nature-based climate solutions, with BIPA contributing traditional ecological knowledge and field networks while the Initiative provides carbon accounting, remote sensing, monitoring, and access to climate finance systems.

International marine science experts are drawing up a global framework to assess ocean-based climate interventions, such as marine carbon removal (mCDR), with the work due to be completed by mid-2027.

Growing seaweed across vast areas of the ocean could help draw down more CO2, but the carbon removal gains would be limited compared with the amount of biomass produced and could come with major risks for marine ecosystems, a peer-reviewed study has found.

A microscopy-based method could help assess whether biochar material has been sufficiently carbonised for long-term storage, a new study has found.

ERW supply - Mati Carbon has received its first credits, a total of 717 CORCs, under the Puro Standard's enhanced rock weathering (ERW) methodology for a project in Chhattisgarh, India. The issuance credits the company's use of basalt-based enhanced rock weathering on smallholder rice paddy farms, where crushed basalt is applied to soils to accelerate natural carbon sequestration.

A group of organisations presented on Monday a framework for Mediterranean seagrass restoration aimed at helping quantify ecosystem value and support the development of nature credits.

Governments should allocate part of their health budgets to greening urban areas, as scaling up nature-based solutions is one of the most effective ways to tackle rising temperatures in European cities, an expert told Carbon Pulse.

A Brazilian state-controlled lender will support a newly launched Amazon REDD+ carbon credit initiative targeting 5 million hectares under management, annual production of 7.5 mln credits, and around $50 mln in net yearly revenue by 2030.

Wastewater biochar - Edinburgh-based Carbogenics will launch a project in July to test whether wastewater screening waste can be converted into its patent-pending FilaChar carbon material and used to remove pharmaceutical contaminants from wastewater, it announced last week. The IBioIC-backed project will be carried out with Scottish Water and the University of the Highlands and Islands’ Environmental Research Institute, and will assess whether wastewater-derived carbon materials can offer a more circular approach to tackling emerging contaminants such as pharmaceuticals, PFAS, hormones, pesticides, and microplastics.

Tanzania has rejected opposition claims that international carbon trading agreements amount to the sale or transfer of control over the country's natural resources, insisting that its carbon market framework is designed to protect national sovereignty while generating new revenue.

Conservation finance risks creating a "monoculture" by relying too heavily on carbon markets, a prominent Singaporean conservation scientist has warned.

Farm‑level greenhouse gas accounting methods remain fragmented and require urgent harmonisation efforts, with estimates for the same farm varying by more than 1,000%, a study said.

Indonesia has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with a US-based nonprofit to explore opportunities for reducing emissions from its forests, with a focus on jurisdictional REDD+ approaches.
