Carbon farming law only ‘first step’ in negative emissions push https://www.euractiv.com/section/agriculture-food/news/carbon-farming-law-only-first-step-in-negative-emissions-push/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #carbonfarming #CarbonMarkets #carbonremovals #carbonsinks

RT @BUND_EU: Strong words by @CeliaNysss during @EP_Environment on #carbonfarming. There are serious limitations for its use on voluntary #carbonmarkets due to the short-term nature of carbon storage in soil and the high risk of re-emissions.

Norway is considering a reverse tax of 2000 NOK (177 EUR) per tonne for #DirectAirCapture.

This could be paid over 10 years and combined with the sales of #carboncredits on the voluntary #carbonmarkets.

The document also includes insights on claims: https://lnkd.in/eE3D9Qcs… https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1635951846853361665

Carbon markets are an important source of funding for forest protection and restoration, but there's so much room for abuse and fakery. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/mar/10/biggest-carbon-credit-certifier-replace-rainforest-offsets-scheme-verra-aoe?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other #carbonmarkets #forests

Benchmark EU Allowance (EUA) contract for one tonne of pollutants' breached 100 euros ceiling for first time ever.

#EUAs are the main #tax in the #EuropeanUnion's Emissions #Trading System (#ETS) that forces #manufacturers, power companies and #airlines to pay for each tonne of #carbondioxide they emit as part of the efforts to meet arbitrary #climate targets and spur #greentransition.

For folks interested in learning more about #CarbonOffsets, our course on the Udemy platform might be worth taking a look at. It's taught by offset expert Mark Trexler and it's received good reviews. We have it on sale for February at a significant discount to encourage more people to learn the basics since offsets have been quite the controversy lately. https://www.udemy.com/course/carbon-offsets/?couponCode=DA9B30972AC7F98D4F40

@leahstokes Glad to see you here, and a nice way to encourage some additional connections for folks. I work with my partner and spouse Mark Trexler (who has resisted activity both here and at the Other Place, you can find him on LinkedIn) on information dissemination and communication re climate issues, as well as continuing to be active in the #CarbonOffsets arena as we have for many years.

Having been part of the first firm to specialize in carbon offsets 31 years ago, it's been interesting to watch "Carbon Offsets Round 2" get underway over the last few years. But one thing I see is an inadequate understanding of the history and fragility of offset markets, and a lack of due diligence that should be happening when companies and investors are putting so much $ into the markets. My partner (and spouse) makes the case in this video.
