[ad_1] Economic data reflect global supply chain restructuring. Nearly two years into the regionalization, nearshoring, re-shoring, and “friend-shoring” of the global supply chain restructuring process, US and overseas economic data are revealing the consequences. As the supply chain shifts, accelerated by pandemic disruptions and policy uncertainty, previously dependable — and popular — data correlations are shifting as well. Consider US manufacturing. While technology, financial, and consulting firms have announced major layoffs amid 15 months of monetary tightening by the US Federal Reserve, the manufacturing sector remains resilient.

Main players in this market, states the article, are the project developers (entities that develop emissions-reduction projects like planting trees or distributing clean cookstoves), verification and validation bodies or VVBs (third-party entities that assess claims made by project developers) and standard setting bodies (groups of non-profits and business leaders that define project standards, certify offsets, and host registries that maintain…
