I have resigned from the Greenhouse Gas Protocol's Independent Standards Board. The Protocol is openly violating its own rules and has effectively delegated forest carbon accounting standards to a secret, industry-led working group. ghgpolicy.org/s/2026-06-08...

Today, EU Environment ministers finally agreed on their position on the 2040 90% #climatetarget & the 2035 NDC. But it has been significantly watered down. 👉 Read our full reaction: eu.bellona.org/2025/11/05/e...

In this comment, I argue for why reaching land-based climate targets is crucial for reaching climate neutrality targets altogether and how they can be achieved - by focusing on how biomass is consumed and implementing new policy measures to bring biomass consumption to sustainable levels.
