Are carbon rating agencies the key to avoiding greenwashing?

With the European Union reintroducing carbon credits as a tool for industries and businesses to offset their carbon dioxide emissions, carbon rating agencies are ready to help evaluate whether the system actually works.

Australia’s carbon credits system a failure on global scale, study finds
"Researchers find carbon offsets approach, which is supposed to regenerate scrubby outback forests, was not reducing emissions as promised."

Australian human-induced native forest regeneration carbon offset projects have limited impact on changes in woody vegetation cover and carbon removals (study)
"Effective offset schemes require constant scrutiny and critical assessment, including from third parties. This cannot be provided without the public release of all information that is necessary for the proper evaluation of the performance and integrity of offset projects."

#CEO of biggest #carboncredit certifier to resign after #carbonoffset claims shown worthless

Verra’s CEO, David Antonioli, said he would leave his role after 15 years leading the organisation that dominates the $2bn voluntary #carbon market, which has certified more than 1bn credits through its verified carbon standard (VCS).

Exciting news! The new NICC-ACR framework is here to certify Indigenous carbon projects across the U.S. and Canada. This initiative not only focuses on carbon credits but also verifies vital co-benefits like biodiversity, water conservation, and cultural preservation, all while honoring Indigenous sovereignty.

It's a step forward towards sustainable practices that respect the land and its people.

@MelissaBenyon Yes, without key pieces of context for that very misleading final quote:

“This [North West Shelf] project is subject to those reforms, which means this plant is required to bring their emissions down each year and reach net zero by 2050 under the safeguard mechanism.”

Context: by "their emissions", the (unnamed) government spokesperson does *not* include the >4b tonnes of CO2 emissions that will result when the gas extracted from the project is burned (called 'scope 3 emissions' in technical jargon), and is only referring the (far smaller) emissions that result from the extraction process itself. However, most readers of the article are unlikely to be aware of this crucial distinction and so miss the verbal sleight of hand at play.

Also missing: even these latter emissions are very likely underestimated by current Australian government methods of accounting for gas extraction, which are not based on the latest research into the scale of methane leakage that occurs during extraction, processing and transport of #FossilGas.

Also also missing: the safeguard mechanism allows #Woodside to 'reduce' 'their emissions' via dodgy #CarbonOffset scams that frequently fail to do anything like what is claimed on the tin.

#CarbonOffset markets are growing fast, but they're fueling land grabs in #Africa, displacing local and Indigenous communities.

Rich (read: powerful) nations buy carbon credits to offset emissions, but these projects often ignore local rights, leading to #greenwashing and #neocolonialism.

To fight #ClimateChange justly, we need to focus on community rights and real, sustainable solutions, not profit-driven schemes.

Hello people,

Can anyone recommend a legitimate carbon offset company or organization? Or perhaps your preferred organization to donate to for fighting against the climate crisis?

I don't fly much, but I want to make a concerted effort to do something to offset the damage any time I do have to fly.

Thanks for your help.

#CarbonCredits and #Capitalism - a marriage made in hell - "‘We don’t know where the money is going’: the ‘carbon cowboys’ making millions from #credit schemes - "...after a year of controversies, the wider #carbon market is in crisis – with some experts concerned other schemes around the world could be abandoned amid evidence that many projects are producing huge numbers of worthless credits that many believe do not mitigate global heating ... Much of the €100m revenue generated by Kariba has been carved off along the way by the project developers in fees and expenses: €86m went into costs and profits assigned to the broker and technical lead #SouthPole and to the project coordinator #Carbon Green Investments. In the end, only a maximum of €14m went to Kariba’s communities through cash transfers and infrastructure improvements ... South Pole – which was not involved in providing any services on the ground – made €18m (£15m) profit, according to its figures, since deleted from its website – more than was spent on Kariba itself. The #Swiss firm deducted €24m in costs before sending €57m to Wentzel for his 30% share of revenue, project costs and local communities."

@CelloMomOnCars
Tidal Restoration is important and effective carbon sequestration and provides other environmental services. However there are challenges in accurate measurement, and in assuring permanence. This is especially likely with a warming climate and increasing #sealevelrise that may change rate of sequestration, or even release the carbon due to extreme events such as the 2016 Gulf of Carpentaria mangrove dieback.

#ACCUs or #CarbonOffset credits generated by this methodology should definitely not be used to offset Scope 1 and 2 emissions from new fossil fuel projects.

Germany’s Das Erste TV channel recently broadcast a documentary titled “Klimaneutral? Von wegen”.

If you’re British, that translates as “Climate neutral? As if”. And if you’re from the US it’s, “Climate neutral? My ass”.

Climate Coalition wants to shut down one of the [fake] #EscapeRoutes of the industry to keep going as usual.

"Climate Coalition Says 'Stop Carbon Offsetting Now!'"

Quotes:
"Throughout 2023, academic research, media, and civil society investigations have exposed how these projects routinely generate phantom offsets and result in land grabbing and human and Indigenous rights violations,"
"At COP28, world leaders and climate negotiators need to recognize once and for all that carbon markets are a failed source of climate finance. They are volatile and unstable, marked by fraud, incapable of reducing emissions, and actually harm communities," Oakland Institute executive director Anuradha Mittal said Monday.

#Researchers #discovered that many #CarbonOffset #forest projects, especially those in the #SoutheastUS and on the #WestCoast , are anticipated to lose #carbon by the end of the century depending on the model approach & the #climate scenario.The findings, according to Wu, show that various #ecological & climate models have various strengths & weaknesses and that taking these factors into account identifies the research gaps for more accurate climate projections.
