[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images UK stocks have largely rallied from the bottom around two years ago. However, some have been left behind. One of those stocks is Jet2 (LSE:JET2). While Jet2 is up 137% over five years, this comparison starts from a very low base. Instead, we can actually see that the airline’s stock is flat versus where it was in December 2020 — for context, the UK was in lockdown at the time. In other words, zero share price growth in four-and-a-half years. And that in itself is a danger. I like stocks with momentum because they’re more…

[ad_1] A new United Nations mechanism for validating high-quality carbon credits has announced its first approval, but carbon experts aren’t celebrating. The inaugural project is seen by many as flawed, and its inclusion highlights a challenge to the mechanism’s integrity goals. Plans for the Paris Agreement Crediting Mechanism (PACM) were finalized last November at the COP negotiations in Azerbaijan, allowing project developers to begin applying for PACM approval. A quality label backed by the UN could be a welcome addition to the carbon market, where many buyers lack the resources to undertake the due diligence necessary to identify high-quality credits.…
