[ad_1] BOSTON, Mass. — A new study and scorecard led by Clean Air Task Force (CATF) reveal that the protocols governing forest carbon credits are flawed and are at the root of problems facing the carbon offset market. The study, released by a team of leading forest scientists, evaluates 20 forest carbon credit protocols across voluntary and compliance markets in North America. “Our new study finds that most forest carbon protocols are currently too weak to ensure that the issued credits are high-quality,” said Kathy Fallon, Director, Land Systems Program at CATF. “Given the large volume of forest carbon credits…

[ad_1] Kenya’s latest national climate plan reflects its ambitions to raise millions of dollars in climate finance by tapping into the voluntary carbon market, even as two of its biggest offsetting projects face scrutiny over tensions with local Indigenous communities.Verra, the main global certifier of carbon credits, this week suspended the Northern Kenya Rangelands Carbon Project (NKRCP) for the second time for a review following a ruling by a Kenyan court earlier this year.

[ad_1] The carbon credit certifier Verra has placed the Northern Kenya Rangelands Carbon Project under review for a second time, it confirmed to Mongabay in an emailed statement. Until the review is completed, the project will not be permitted to sell any credits it generates through its model of managing livestock grazing routes.

In January, a Kenyan court ruled that two conservancies with ties to NRT were established illegally and without adequate…
[ad_1] I think it’s fair to suggest President Trump has been a mixed blessing for the Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) stock price. The November election triggered a boom. But it quickly turned into a slide, partly due to dissatisfaction with CEO Elon Musk’s new political activities. After the 2 April tariff shock, Tesla stock fell to a 2025 low of a few pennies above $214 during the day on 7 April. That’s a 56% crash from December’s all-time high of over $488.
