Bipartisan legislation was introduced in the US House this week to formalise and fund a federal programme aimed at strengthening nursery capacity and scaling up reforestation efforts nationwide.
Read MoreAI could cut complexity of forest carbon MRV -webinar
Current satellite-based forest monitoring pipelines often function as de facto “black boxes” – complex, region-specific, and difficult to replicate, a webinar heard this week.
Read MoreINTERVIEW: Five-pillar framework seeks to unlock capital, scale durable CDR projects
The carbon removal (CDR) sector is struggling to scale to meet global climate goals, as projects face financing hurdles and weak buyer signals, a new report said.
Read MorePost-fire reforestation in US southwest may deliver limited carbon gains -study
Financing for post-wildfire reforestation in the southwestern US is unlikely to deliver meaningful climate returns beyond high-elevation mesic areas, as low seedling survival and warming sharply constrain carbon storage, new research has found.
Read MoreRoadmap urges embedding mCDR into US coastal resilience projects
A new roadmap has called for integrating abiotic marine carbon removal (mCDR) into US coastal resilience infrastructure to deliver dual adaptation and mitigation benefits.
Read MoreUS court narrows carbon neutral marketing lawsuit
A US federal judge has granted in part and denied in part a motion to dismiss a lawsuit challenging carbon neutral marketing claims for consumer products, dismissing several counts while allowing the case to continue.
