  1. Climate finance isn't only a question of numbers.

    It's also about having enough resources & whether frontline communities can access them & have a meaningful say in how those resources are allocated.

    Importantly, solutions like #CarbonMarkets are NOT climate finance!

  2. Setting a price on superpollutants: The economics behind cutting near-term climate pollution

    Climate economists are typically obsessed with modeling, pricing and reducing a specific molecule: carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide pollution is the original villain that drives climate change…

  3. Q&A: What the EU’s carbon market review means for climate action

  5. Marine carbon dioxide removals, driven in large part by voluntary #CarbonMarkets, risk causing irreversible harm while diverting scarce resources and political will away from proven, rights-based climate solutions.

  6. The #BlueCarbon framing that permeates the Dialogue is a very limited way to understand complex & vital ocean ecosystems. Narrow definitions risk driving the exploitation of oceans for commercial purposes rather than their protection, particularly when linked to #CarbonMarkets.

  7. What must be clear from this year’s discussions: #FossilFuels, #CarbonMarkets & #MarineGeoengineering are incompatible with a healthy ocean! Stopping offshore oil & gas expansion & phasing out existing production are the 2 most powerful ocean-based mitigation actions available.

  10. In our latest blog post Dr Lambert Schneider gives an overview on #COP30 negotiations on carbon markets. Learn more about #Article6 and important standards: oeko.de/en/blog/cop30-negotiat #carbonmarkets

  11. When market 'uncertainty' hits, the big players start making moves. Carbon Direct just announced it's acquiring Pachama, signaling a shift in the voluntary carbon markets.

    Is this consolidation a sign of maturity or fragility in climate tech?

Fuji and Tokyo skyline getty In a world increasingly obsessed with gigaton-scale solutions and trillion-dollar climate pledges, it’s easy to overlook policy experiments that don’t grab headlines. But every so often, a quiet reform starts to reshape the rules of the global climate game. Japan’s carbon market i…

  15. "A #CarbonMarkets investor backed by Swiss-trading house Mercuria said on Wednesday it had joined with two non-profits to raise an initial $1.5 billion to help protect the Amazon, by working with Brazilian states, farmers and local communities."

  16. youtube.com/watch?v=aU_S97Ae1e #CarbonMarkets carbon credits fraud at a huge scale. Apparently there is no system in place to check whether a carbon credits supplier is legitimate.

  17. The climate talks in Baku 🇦🇿 are officially over! #COP29 opened with a bulldozing through of dangerous #CarbonMarkets and ended with a bulldozing through of an empty promise of rich countries’ legal obligations to protect #HumanRights & the planet: ciel.org/news/cop29-c... A 🧵

  18. CIEL's Nikki Reisch makes clear: the only ambition we see at #COP29 is the ambition of rich countries to turn #ClimateAction into a business opportunity, relying on dangerous #CarbonMarkets & putting profits over people & the planet.

  19. 👉 Without #HumanRights safeguards, a climate finance goal – especially one that encompasses private finance and opens the door to #CarbonMarkets – risks compounding harms to communities and ecosystems 👈

  20. "Essential as ecological carbon stores are, trading them against fossil fuel emissions, which is how these markets operate, cannot possibly work. The carbon that current ecosystems can absorb in one year is pitched against the burning of fossil carbon accumulated by ancient ecosystems over many years.

    Nowhere is this magical thinking more apparent than in soil carbon markets, a great new adventure for commodity traders selling both kinds of carbon market products: official “credits” and voluntary carbon offsets. Every form of wishful thinking, over-claiming and outright fraud that has blighted the carbon market so far is magnified when it comes to soil.

    We should do all we can to protect and restore soil carbon. About 80% of the organic carbon on the land surface of the planet is held in soil. It’s essential for soil health. There should be strong rules and incentives for good soil management. But there is no realistic way in which carbon trading can help. Here are the reasons why."

  21. There are a lot of contradictions in forest #CarbonMarkets, but the fundamental problem is that #CarbonCredits have no use-value. Timber has use-value (lumber, paper, etc.), and that use-value can be transformed into exchange-value. But carbon credits can't be used for anything, so the entire premise is to transform the forest into exchange-value without any use upon which to base it. Which means that in the end, carbon credits are only a cost that companies will seek to minimize

  22. Loggers are targeting protected forests in Cambodia’s Cardamom Mountains using the cover of a new hydropower dam.

    The dam, which is being built by Ly Yong Phat, a wealthy Cambodian tycoon with ties to the top tiers of government and a long history of environmental vandalism, also overlaps significantly with the Samkos REDD+ project which is still under validation and verification.

    „Large birds help carbon sinks“

    It seems to me somebody is playing with excel tables to blow even more hot air in carbon offsets.
