New paper in Nat. Comms w. @klchristiansen.bsky.social et al. "We show that countries’ climate pledges require approximately 1 billion ha of land for removals. For over 40% of this area, the pledges envisage the conversion of existing land uses to forests." www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Forgot to add: “sounds like a great solution, however Supplementary Table S86 mentions it will require a billion hectares of additional land”

This is just chilling new research. Can we please stop talking about #netzero and just talk about reducing emissions? theconversation.com/carbon-budge...

Carbon budget for 1.5°C will run out in six years at current emissions levels – new research
For a two-in-three chance of staying within 1.5°C, the budget shrinks to one-and-a-half years.

If offsets are regulated so that they're less wracked with fraud and false claims, then they deliver less value to investors In other words: their entire purpose is to not work. They are designed from the ground up to be fraud: if they work, they don't work www.bnnbloomberg.ca/lombard-odie...
Lombard Odier Warns New Carbon Rules Will Erase Investor Value

(Bloomberg) -- New standards for the global carbon offsets market threaten to wipe out “a lot” of value for investors, according to Lombard Odier.

In an attempt to improve the quality of the $1.3 billion market for offsets, the Integrity Council for the Voluntary Carbon Market’s new guidelines require projects to include 40 years of emissions monitoring and reporting, to ensure the credits continue to work as designed.

“A lot of existing methodologies or existing credits don’t meet that requirement,” said Lorenzo Bernasconi, head of carbon solutions at Lombard Odier Investment Managers. Those that don’t “will be trading at a much lower price, if not be stranded altogether.”

#HiSky I'm a PhD in political ecology at University of Copenhagen. I research international carbon markets, corporate net-zero pledges, and nature-based carbon removal. Also continuous to be unimpressed with 🇩🇰 climate politics. Excited to connect with fellow scholars and activists 🌿
