CDR can cool planet after net zero but does not fully restore climate system -study
Carbon removal (CDR) could return global average temperatures toward pre-industrial levels after achieving net zero, but would not restore the climate system to pre-industrial conditions, a new study said.

Rewetting peatlands could materially improve the performance of biochar-based carbon removal (CDR) compared with conventional soil applications, according to new research.
Read MoreVCM stabilises in 2025 as higher-quality credits underpin demand -report
The voluntary carbon market (VCM) largely stabilised in 2025 after the sharp contraction that began in 2022, marking a transition out of the downturn phase seen over the previous two years, according to a new report.

A roughly C$14 million ($10 mln) grant will fund the expansion of Indigenous-led conservation initiatives across Canada, targeting greater access to carbon and nature finance for First Nations.
Read MorePassive climate, atmospheric forces drove nearly half of recent US forest carbon gains -study
Climate and atmospheric effects, rather than direct human action, contributed to a substantial share of carbon absorbed by US forests over the past two decades, new research showed.
Read MoreCompliance, regulated markets set to dominate future carbon credit demand -panellists
Panellists on a Thursday webinar pointed project developers toward compliance and regulated markets rather than the voluntary carbon market (VCM) as the primary source of future demand and price formation.
Read MoreInconsistent crediting of CDR delays risks ex-ante claims, skewed markets -researchers
Carbon removal (CDR) pathways often deliver climate benefits only years or decades after deployment, but these temporal lags are treated inconsistently across carbon crediting protocols, according to a new research preprint.

Embedding ecoscape restoration directly into climate-smart marine spatial planning (MSP) could accelerate global biodiversity recovery, researchers said in a new perspective paper.
Read More32 companies linked to over half of global fossil fuel and cement CO2 emissions, state-owned enterprises dominate, analysis finds
The top 10 corporate emitters of fossil fuel and cement CO2 in 2024 were all fully or majority state-owned companies and together accounted for more than one quarter of global fossil CO2 emissions, while a total of just 32 companies were linked to more than half of global emissions, according to a new analysis published on Wednesday.
