After several years of stuttering progress, the idea that carbon credits can be used to fund regenerative agriculture took a leap forward this week with the release of what might be the largest-ever tranche of farmland credits. In a separate move, a national government announced that it would buy hundreds of thousands of credits from another project developer. The Danish startup Agreena said Monday that the carbon credit registry Verra had verified its work with farmers in 10 European nations, resulting in the release of 2.3 million credits. Farmers earned the credits by deploying regenerative agriculture techniques on close to…
Instead, Alberta should modernize its system to create a robust, credible market that attracts investment and improves competitiveness. OTTAWA — Dale Beugin, Executive Vice President at the Canadian Climate Institute, made the following statement in response to the Government of Alberta’s announced changes to its Technology, Innovation and Emission Reduction Regulation (TIER): “Today Alberta announced changes that would weaken the province’s long-standing industrial emissions trading market. The changes proposed exacerbate existing challenges with the policy rather than addressing them. They will create more uncertainty for business and make building low-carbon projects across the province harder. Alberta’s carbon market needs updates,…

Tesla’s (TSLA) stock gained momentum in September 2025 after CEO Elon Musk announced a $1 billion stock purchase. The move, Musk’s first open-market buy since early 2020, is being viewed as a renewed vote of confidence in Tesla’s long-term direction. It comes at a time when the EV maker faces challenges like softening demand and margin pressures, but is doubling down on its transformation into an AI and robotics powerhouse. TSLA Stock Rebounds: Musk’s Vote of Confidence Fuels Investor Optimism On September 15, Tesla (TSLA stock) shares surged 6% in early trading after Musk revealed he acquired 2.57 million shares…
Image source: Getty Images I look for two key things in a FTSE 100 dividend stock — a decent yield, and a track record of dividend growth. Very high dividends come along from time to time. But over the long term, a steady progressive one can really help build superior wealth. 30 straight years How does a 4.3% dividend yield sound? And what if it the figure has increased every year since stock market flotation in 1994? I’m talking about DCC (LSE: DCC), the sales, marketing and support services group. It’s operated in oil markets, technology, healthcare, retail… and the…
Image source: Getty Images Phoenix (LSE:PHNX) shares have been volatile lately, dropping 7% on 8 September after a poorly received set of first-half results. They’re still up 14% over one year and 21% over two, yet long-term investors might feel underwhelmed. The Phoenix Group Holdings share price trades at similar levels to a decade ago. That’s disappointing. The big consolation is that they offer one of the highest yields on the FTSE 100, with a decent record of dividend growth too. Today, the stock offers an eye-popping trailing yield of 8.38%. The shares go ex-dividend on 25 September. Anyone who holds…
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has proposed ending the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program (GHGRP). The agency says this move could save businesses up to $2.4 billion in compliance costs over the next ten years. If approved, about 8,000 large facilities would no longer be required to report their greenhouse gas emissions. These businesses currently have to share data if their emissions exceed 25,000 tons of CO₂ equivalent each year. This proposal follows President Trump’s executive orders on his first day in office, which focus on cutting regulations and promoting energy production. EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin explained that, “Alongside President…
Image source: Getty Images A double-digit dividend yield is a rare thing. It can also be a red flag for investors, although in some cases high-yield shares go on pumping out dividends for the long term. A few FTSE 250 shares offer yields north of 10% right now. For example, Bluefield Solar Income Fund (LSE: BSIF) yields 10.2%. Meanwhile, Foresight Solar Fund (LSE: FSFL) is yielding 10.1%. Am I missing out by not owning any solar fund shares? Taking the long-term approach The short-term answer is: yes, I am. Owning a 10%+ yielding share helps boost my passive income streams.…
