SINGAPORE – Three of the four projects that Singapore recently secured its first set of nature-based carbon credits from will use two newly approved methodologies that will be added to the Republic’s eligibility list for international carbon crediting, with additional safeguards.Both protocols fall under carbon crediting programme Verra, and will be included in the implementation agreements that Singapore has signed with Peru and Ghana, where the three projects are sited.The first applies to afforestation, reforestation and revegetation (ARR) projects.It sets out rules for quantifying carbon dioxide captured by planting trees in an area that previously did not have any forest…

Image source: Britvic (copyright Evan Doherty) The JD Sports (LSE: JD) share price slipped yesterday morning (24 September) after the release of the group’s half-year results (for the 26 weeks to 2 August 2025). However, it bounced back to finish the day relatively flat. Investors didn’t overreact to the weaker numbers, perhaps a sign that expectations had already been well managed. Created on TradingView.com The stock touched 86p by midday but closed back up at 88p, where it had started the session. That may not sound dramatic, but for a company that’s been down 44% over the past five years,…
The Ogiek have been pushing back against evictions for more than a decade. In 2012, the community brought a case before to the African Court of Human and Peoples Rights in Arusha, Tanzania, asking the court to compel the government to stop evictions, recognize the Ogiek’s ownership of the land and pay them compensation for losses suffered during the evictions in Sasimwani and in other parts of the Mau Forest where Ogieks had been evicted. In 2017, the court issued a ruling in this case, recognizing the Ogiek as an Indigenous people with rights to their ancestral lands, and mandating…
Image source: Getty Images FTSE 250 household appliance and electricals retailer AO World (LSE: AO) has soared since 15 September. I am not surprised at all, as this saw the release of its eye-catching H1 fiscal year 2025/26 trading update. Two elements were particularly noteworthy in my view, and evidently that of other investors. First it raised the lower end of its adjusted pre-tax profit range for the full year to £45m-£50m from £40m-£50m. This reflects strong projected growth in its business-to-consumer retail revenues. These are expected to rise by 11% year on year for fiscal year 2025/26. Total revenue…

Image source: Getty Images A Self-Invested Personal Pension (SIPP) is a powerful tool for building a comfortable retirement. The government encourages pension saving through generous tax relief, topping up contributions. For example, £100 put into a SIPP only costs a basic-rate payer £80, falling to £60 for a higher-rate taxpayer. On top of that, investments grow free of capital gains and dividend tax, while 25% can be taken tax-free from age 55. Any withdrawals above that will be added to taxable income though. Building a pension pot Let’s say an investor’s targeting retirement income of £2,500 a month, or £30,000…
Image source: Getty Images FTSE 100 homebuilder Barratt Redrow’s (LSE: BTRW) share price has seen positive follow-through after its fiscal-year 2024/25 results. I am surprised, as the 17 September numbers – the first since the 2024 merger with Redrow – looked excellent to me. Revenue soared 33.8% year on year to £5.578bn, as home completions rose 18.3% to 16,565. Adjusted profit before tax jumped 26.8% to £591.6m. Barratt expects 17,200-17,800 home completions this year. However, the firm made it clear that there are risks to these projections, which I think are accurate. Specifically, Barratt warned of ongoing uncertainties surrounding general…
Image source: Getty Images The Greggs (LSE: GRG) share price has followed a surprisingly erratic path for a company that just makes sandwiches, sausage rolls, and things like that. I did notice that, despite the inflationary aftermath of the Covid pandemic, Greggs did a pretty good job of keeping price rises down as much as possible. As a regular customer, I was happy. But I wasn’t so sure it would be to shareholders’ liking. My fears were well founded. By early 2025 we were hearing of subdued consumer confidence, cost inflation, headwinds… The first half this year saw higher sales,…
