Carbon capture and storage technologies are essential tools to cut carbon pollution and address climate change. CATF’s Benjamin Longstreth highlights how countries can take advantage of this critical climate technology – through policy mechanisms and investment. At #COP28, CATF hosted and participated in a number of panels on best practices for carbon capture deployment – including how it can help decarbonize hard-to-electrify sectors like heavy industry. https://lnkd.in/gBYBA3iS

At a time of profound division over the use of #CarbonOffsets to meet corporate climate targets, the voluntary carbon market (#VCM) just received a strong endorsement from the US government. The Biden-Harris Administration today released a statement of policy stating that VCMs “can and should play a meaningful role” in helping the world limit global warming to 1.5ºC – and provided guidelines for the use of carbon credits by both companies and government agencies. The principles draw from other carbon market integrity guidelines from the The Integrity Council for the Voluntary Carbon Market (ICVCM) and VCMI – and the latter has welcomed the "clear direction" provided by the US. https://lnkd.in/esq8vG-c #CarbonCredits #CarbonMarket #CarbonNeutrality #NetZero #ChiefSustainabilityOfficer

It's all about real commitment, supporting carbon reduction projects are parts of the solution as we make our best efforts to stop global warming. Every small effort count #carbonoffsets #globalwarming https://lnkd.in/gWVjndxH

A carbon emissions market is necessary but insufficient to reach climate targets. "Our recent research shows that global carbon pricing policies must advance much more rapidly, and be combined with other mitigation measures, to avoid harmful warming scenarios," write Sean Cleary, Chair of Institute for Sustainable Finance and Smith PHD student Neal Willcott. Here’s the case for clean tech subsidies and alternate financing: https://lnkd.in/gVZJHyJx #SmithBusiness #SmithInsight #SmithResearch #ClimateChange

With substantial global investments and recent government funding, the momentum for CCUS is strong. Transparency and a steadfast commitment to long-term climate benefits are crucial for maximizing their effectiveness. Let's integrate these technologies into a comprehensive strategy to achieve net-zero emissions. #CCUS #ClimateAction #NetZero #Sustainability #GreenTech Read more: https://lnkd.in/gfJu9G52

Breaking News: EU Paves the Way for Climate Action with Carbon Removals Certification Framework 🌍 Exciting developments are underway in the fight against climate change as the European Council and Parliament announce a groundbreaking agreement to establish an EU carbon removals certification framework. This framework promises to revolutionize carbon removal projects, ensuring transparency, integrity, and accountability in our collective efforts to combat global warming. Join us as we delve into the details of this transformative decision and its implications for climate action.

Could Carbon Removal Help Us in the Fight Against Climate Change? "The market for carbon credits, often generated through reforestation projects, has come under scrutiny. One of the critical issues is the lack of stringent controls over how long the trees must be maintained without being cut down or burned. This lack of regulation raises questions about the actual environmental benefits of some reforestation projects, as the permanence of carbon sequestration cannot be guaranteed." How can we incorporate more robust oversight of #carbon credits? https://lnkd.in/emd5xsE4

Nathan Truitt, Executive Vice President, Climate Funding at American Forest Foundation reflects back on 2023 for #VCMs and calls on companies to make 2024 a year of action in Carbon Pulse. This article sheds light on the development of an 'end-to-end integrity framework', announced at #COP28 this year by VCMI, The Integrity Council for the Voluntary Carbon Market (ICVCM), We Mean Business Coalition, CDP, Science Based Targets initiative and Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG Protocol), praising the framework for providing consistent guidance and clarity for buyers who want to take climate action with confidence.
