Carbon markets can provide one way to incentivise emission reductions, including via the nascent voluntary carbon credit market. With some analysis forecasting that voluntary carbon credits could reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) by up to 2 Gt per year by 2030, the use of voluntary carbon credits is poised for rapid growth.

Absent a carbon tax, the voluntary carbon markets (VCMs) are our best tool to ensure that companies pay for their CO2 emissions, and that these funds flow to organizations innovating to hasten the green transition. Thanks to The White House for publishing its Principles for Responsible Participation in Voluntary Carbon Markets (VCMs). This is a major signal in support of the VCM, urging companies to use high-quality carbon credits to account for their hard-to-abate emissions. We're particularly grateful for Principle 3 : "Corporate buyers that use credits should prioritize measurable emissions reductions within their own value chains." This Principle gives companies a mandate to reduce their Scope 3 wherever possible, and then *inset*, paying forward their future decarbonization by investing in carbon credits that support the transition of hard-to-abate sectors that currently benefit their business, like #cement, #concrete, and #steel.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is poised to introduce new greenhouse gas emission disclosure rules for the commercial real estate (CRE) sector, targeting companies with assets over $700M. While the industry debates whether reporting of emissions (Scope 1, 2, and 3) should be mandatory or voluntary, it's crucial for companies to prepare for tracking and reporting emissions. How do you plan to address these requirements? How will your emissions compare to your peers? #CommercialRealEstate #Sustainability #SEC #GreenhouseGas #EmissionDisclosure #Innovation Explore the article below for addition insights: https://lnkd.in/exbCxHdZ

The Biden administration released the "Voluntary Carbon Markets Joint Policy Statement and Principles" this week. Key highlights include: ✔ Credit Integrity: Stakeholders must ensure that one carbon credit truly represents one tonne of CO2 (or its equivalent) reduced or removed from the atmosphere, beyond what would have occurred otherwise. ✔ Principles for Participation: Carbon credits and projects must meet credible atmospheric integrity standards, represent real decarbonization, avoid environmental and social harm, and support transparent and inclusive benefits-sharing. ✔ Corporate Accountability: Companies should prioritize measurable emissions reductions within their own value chains, disclose the nature of purchased and retired credits, and ensure public claims accurately reflect the climate impact, relying only on high-integrity credits.

Another year and another carbon credit controversy. Now it is credits issued for the reduction of emissions provided by cookstove projects that are under fire. The study claims that’s these projects overstate the reductions by nearly 10x. Clearly methodologies used to estimate and project emissions reductions are flawed, subject to manipulation and are plainly inaccurate. They give a false sense that positive action is accomplished to reduce emissions when their impact is actually far less than they report and are given credits for. Buyer of these credits are basically being defrauded. Change in how carbon credits are issued is imperative. The provenance of every credit must be auditable and proven prior to their issuance. Projections and pure speculation must not be allowed to underpin the creation of these assets if there is to be trust in the carbon markets. A properly functioning carbon market is imperative to the funding of worthy emission reductions projects. So far these missteps are counter productive. #carboncredits #carbonmarkets #carbonfinance #hedera #theguardian

In a key milestone for the voluntary carbon market, The Integrity Council for the Voluntary Carbon Market (ICVCM) has announced it has approved the first set of methodologies that meet its high-integrity Core Carbon Principles (CCPs). These seven CCP-Approved methodologies account for 1.5% of the carbon credit market and focus on capturing methane from landfill sites, destroying ozone-depleting foams and refrigerant gases from equipment. This will lead to approximately 27 million CCP-labelled credits eligible for trading in the market, with additional methodologies under review to enable the sale of a further 76 million units under the CCP framework. It’s fantastic to see this development in the CCPs to make it easier for buyers to identify high-integrity credits, building confidence in the #VCM. To discover how to access, purchase and manage high-integrity carbon credits with security and transparency, head to Carbonplace’s website ➡️ www.carbonplace.com #CarbonCredits #VoluntaryCarbonMarket #ClimateFinance #NetZero

"There has been much debate recently over the suggestion we should allow companies to count carbon credit retirements against their scope 3 emissions targets. At Gold Standard, our view has always been, and remains, that companies should not use carbon credits to claim they have met their within-value chain reduction (abatement) targets." #carbonmarkets #emissions #climateaction #carbonoffsets #scope3 #carboncredits #carbonmarket https://bit.ly/3VlVg9u
