Greenwashing Top-Liga:

„Rund 70 Prozent der untersuchten Emissionszertifikate💨🔖 reduzierten keine Emissionen.“

Vielen Dank für den interessanten Beitrag. Schön, dass es dem #Regenwald in #Uganda besser geht.
Die Fixierung auf #CO2 berücksichtigt leider nur ca. ein Fünftel unserer Umweltprobleme.
CO2-Zertifizierungen sind in der Tat problematisch. Dazu gibt es hier noch weitere Hintergründe vom Marktführer #Verra, bei dem es wohl zu Fälschungen kam :

“#Verra’s CEO, David Antonioli, said he would leave his role after 15 years leading the org that dominates the $2bn voluntary carbon market, which has certified more than 1bn credits through its verified carbon standard” #greenwashing #climateaction https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/may/23/ceo-of-worlds-biggest-carbon-credit-provider-says-he-is-resigning

In January, a 9-mon investigation by the #Guardian, German weekly Die Zeit & investigative group SourceMaterial found #Verra, a Washington-based nonprofit, approved rainforest credits used by #Disney, #Shell, #Gucci & other big #corporations were largely WORTHLESS, often based on stopping #rainforest destruction not even threatened.

Scientists have called for urgent reform of the unregulated system to finance climate mitigation & #forest #conservation #DavidAntonioli

O director executivo da principal #certificadora de #CréditosDeCarbono do mundo --Verra-- anunciou que deixará o cargo. #Verra aprobou decenas de milhomes de compensacións sen valor que outras grandes empresas usan para compromisos co #clima e a #biodiversidade.
Como nos temíamos as compensacións de carbono son fume (nunca mellor dito) 🙄

#CEO of biggest #carboncredit certifier to resign after #carbonoffset claims shown worthless
#DavidAntonioli to step down from #Verra, which was accused of approving millions of worthless offsets used by major companies
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).

Profiteur 2⃣: Auch #Verra strich schätzungsweise mehr als 1,6 Millionen USD ein: Die Gutschriften sind VCS-zertifiziert. Hannah Knuth und Tin Fischer haben kürzlich gezeigt, wie wenig Verlass auf solche Zertifizierungen ist: "Ein Haufen Schrott": https://www.zeit.de/2023/04/co2-zertifikate-betrug-emissionshandel-klimaschutz

Die KollegInnen von der @zeitonline und #Guardian haben es erst kürzlich recherchiert und am Beispiel der Zertifizierer #Verra belegt: Der Emissionshandel auf freiwilliger Basis ist höchst unseriös.
Das kann man leider nicht oft genug aufschreiben.

‘Phantom’ Carbon Offsets Found to Have No Climate Benefit

Viele Unternehmen, darunter auch #Shell, versuchen mit CO2-Kompensationen ihre Klimaziele zu erreichen. Neue Recherchen zeigen jetzt, dass ein Großteil solcher CO2-Zertifikate wertlos sind. Mehr als 90 Prozent der Waldschutz-Zertifikate von #Verra sparen offenbar nicht so viel CO2 ein, wie sie versprechen – zum Teil wird durch sie sogar mehr #CO2 ausgestoßen. (1/2)

Revealed: more than 90% of rainforest #CarbonOffsets by biggest provider are worthless, analysis shows

"The forest carbon offsets approved by the world’s leading provider and used by Disney, Shell, Gucci and other big corporations are largely worthless and could make global heating worse, according to a new investigation"

Of course they are. Yet another #Greenwashing scandal.

Neue Analyse zeigt, mehr als 90 % der Zertifikate für #CO2Kompensation im Regenwald durch den größten Anbieter #Verra sind wertlos, da keine echten Emissionen reduziert werden.
