The article discusses the challenges and opportunities associated with voluntary carbon markets (VCMs). It highlights that while VCMs have grown rapidly and can play a crucial role in financing various climate solutions, they are currently constrained by information asymmetry. This means that data and information about credits, including their performance and transaction history, are not easily accessible or used for decision-making. As a result, credits are often issued and priced based on subjective claims rather than verifiable emissions impact. The article emphasizes the need for transparency, reliability, and integrity in VCMs to ensure their effectiveness in addressing climate change. It also mentions the emergence of new companies attempting to tackle specific aspects of the VCM landscape. An interesting read. https://lnkd.in/diKJNK3J

🌿 There is a climate-protection mechanism that can help close the climate funding gap and mobilize resources to the developing world - and its market size is projected to explode soon. Of course, we're talking about carbon credits, the financial mechanism that allows companies to offset unavoidable emissions while investing in green initiatives worldwide. 💨 This is achieved by monetarily representing a tonne of CO2 removed or reduced from the atmosphere. What sounds so great on paper is now actually about to gain traction, with companies experiencing pressure to address Scope 3 emissions (about 70% of a company’s total emissions). 📈 This is why major financial institutions have the voluntary carbon credit market projected for massive growth, with $250 billion by 2030 and potentially $1.5 trillion by 2050 (Barclays). And those funds will be helping to direct funds where they're needed most, with over 90% of carbon credits in 2022 sold coming from projects outside Europe & North America. (Ecosystem Marketplace) While not a substitute for decarbonization efforts, carbon credits serve as a powerful complement as the world steers towards net zero by mid-century.

💡 Here's a bold idea: What if we redirect fossil fuel subsidies towards #climatefinance? 💚 Imagine the #impact: Cleaner energy, innovative solutions, and a sustainable future for everyone 🌱. 🛢️ Earlier this year, in a eye-opening report by the International Monetary Fund, it was revealed that global #fossilfuel #subsidies have hit a staggering $7 trillion. This figure is not just a number; it's a reflection of our priorities as a global community. 💰 The report highlights that these subsidies, largely implicit, are not only a financial burden but also contribute significantly to environmental degradation. The majority of these subsidies arise from not accounting for the environmental costs of fossil fuels, particularly coal and diesel. This oversight leads to over $5 trillion in unaccounted environmental damages. This could double if climate was valued at levels found in a study by Rennert et al. (2022). ❓ We must question and challenge the status quo. Should we not consider diverting these massive subsidies towards climate finance, which is desperately underfunded? 🚦 Redirecting these funds could be a game-changer in our fight against climate change. It could provide the much-needed impetus for cleaner energy sources, innovative climate solutions, and a sustainable future for all. Moreover, it's not just about the environment; it's also about social equity. The current subsidy structure disproportionately benefits wealthier households, leaving the vulnerable behind. 🤔 In a recent post, I highlighted the climate finance gap, pictured below based on a report from the Climate Policy Initiative. This could be largely met by redirecting fossil fuel subsidies. While this is only a thought experiment, it goes to show that we could finance the transition to a low carbon future. 🚨 As we stand at a critical juncture in our fight against climate change, the choice is clear but weather we make it is everything but looking at #COP28 and weather the final text will include a #phaseout of fossil fuels. #ClimateAction #Sustainability #leadership

🌱 Embracing the Positive Feedback Loop in Voluntary Carbon Markets 🌱 Working in the voluntary carbon markets for the last 2 years, I've become fascinated with the concept of the positive feedback loop. Whether it's government policy driving the adoption of carbon credit usage or tech breakthroughs reducing prices and spurring further innovations, it finally feels like the carbon markets are on the path to rapid expansion. 📈 Where We Are: - National governments like the US and Singapore are taking an active role in carbon markets. - Technological advancements from Climeworks are lowering costs and enhancing CDR efficiency. Are we in a reinforcing cycle that is about to accelerate market growth? This insightful article from WRI delves into the current state of industry development. Companies must assess their position in this evolving landscape. Will you be an early adopter? A quick follower? Or do you risk getting left behind with significant costs and fighting for limited opportunities? 🌍 Key Takeaway: Now is the time to act and integrate carbon strategies into your business plans beyond 2030. #CarbonMarkets #Sustainability #ClimateAction #TechInnovation #GovernmentPolicy #WRI https://lnkd.in/ezrWrp2s

Read this well-written blog post by South Pole's new CEO Daniel Klier! It's not only about carbon markets, but also on the current state of the #climate and why we need urgent and ambitious #ClimateAction .

Unlocking the Power of Carbon Offsets: A Path to Climate Action In the urgent pursuit of emission-free operations, carbon offsets emerge as indispensable tools in our collective fight against climate change. These financial instruments hold immense promise, enabling companies and nations to align with ambitious climate targets while fostering sustainable growth. Why Carbon Offsets Matter: Market Momentum: According to Morgan Stanley Research, the voluntary carbon-offset market is on the cusp of explosive growth. From a modest $2 billion in 2020, it is projected to soar to an impressive $250 billion by 2050. Savvy investors recognize this seismic shift and are positioning themselves accordingly. The Gigaton Imperative: To meet the objectives of the Paris Climate Accords, we must annually remove at least 1 gigaton of carbon dioxide by 2030. Each carbon offset symbolizes one metric ton of carbon dioxide removed, reduced, or avoided—a tangible solution to our climate challenges. Shifting Paradigms: From Reduction and Avoidance to Removal: While avoidance and reduction projects currently dominate, removal initiatives are gaining momentum. Think tree planting and cutting-edge carbon capture technologies. These projects directly extract carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, offering a long-term pathway to carbon neutrality. From Nature to Technology: Nature-based solutions are crucial today, but post-2030, technology will lead the charge. Innovations like carbon capture from industrial processes and renewable technology deployment will drive significant carbon removal. From Offsets to Investments: Forward-thinking companies are investing in technology and efficiency improvements to achieve absolute zero emissions. This strategic approach, coupled with offsetting current emissions, charts a sustainable trajectory forward. Investor Alert: As the carbon-offset market evolves, institutional investors and corporates are taking notice. The exponential growth forecasted presents a unique opportunity—one that combines financial gain with environmental impact. Seize it, and let’s drive tangible change together. 🌍 #CarbonOffsets #Sustainability #GreenInvesting #CarbonMarket #InvestmentOpportunities
