The conversation about carbon offsets usually gravitates around the amount of carbon captured from the atmosphere, and that’s it. However, when talking about high-quality carbon projects, carbon removal is just the beginning. In the second episode of the Green Earth Podcast, we talk to Haron Wachira, HSC, the Project Director of the Hongera Reforestation and Cookstove projects. We explore together the positive impact these projects have on their environment, beyond removing or avoiding carbon emissions. We talk about community development, raising living standards, improving air quality, and much more. Click the link below to listen!

Someday soon - next month in fact - the Board of Trustees of the Science Based Targets initiative has to pick a side. They have to choose whether to be on the side of the pragmatic solutions that can accelerate climate action now. The side supported by the nations of the Global South, 10 of whom recently wrote to the SBTi desperately calling for them to unlock the income, clean energy security, clean air and healthy forests that carbon credits can provide to their 120 million vulnerable citizens. The side that includes carbon offsetting as a complementary tool in the #everythingeverywhereallatonce toolbox the UN has called for. Or, they have to choose to be on the side of the 14 named signatories of a recent letter to the SBTi decrying such a move. Learned, respected folks no doubt, safely ensconced in western Europe and far removed - economically, socially and physically - from the consequences of their letter writing. Both sides care deeply about the climate. So does SBTi *really* have to choose between them? Perhaps they don't. The SBTi could simply make the Solomonic choice. One that should satisfy all: allow companies to use offsets to meet their Scope 3 emissions targets, but cap their use at 50% of the target. In my view, they should just decide it, announce it, implement it, and then we can move on to shaming the laggards instead of the leaders.

Everything you ever wanted to know about Article 6, ITMO's and the impact on the verified carbon markets! In this upcoming webinar, we'll explore how Article 6 will—directly or indirectly—impact our day-to-day lives and what opportunities we can foster from it. To help us fully understand this topic, we're joined by guest speaker Lev Gantly - a partner at Philip Lee LLP specialising in domestic and international climate law, with a deep understanding of frameworks within the verified carbon market as well as the evolving international laws under Article 6 of the #ParisAgreement.
