[ad_1] Newly proposed rules which determine the amount of carbon dioxide removal (CDR) that companies can use to hit climate targets are still too restrictive, according to some carbon credit providers. This week, the Science Based Target Initiative (SBTi) tabled revisions to its flagship climate target-setting framework. The keenly awaited changes did not include a loosening of the rules around carbon offsets, as had been expected after SBTi controversially indicated last year that it would allow companies to use them to neutralise some Scope 3 emissions. The new rules instead largely hold the line on offsets – only allowing them…

But it’s fairly clear the recent investments in Japanese trading houses are.  Investors like me, however, don’t have the ability to match Buffett’s Japanese deals.
