Islamabad has hosted many conferences, but the Growing Green Investor Outreach held on 28 August was different. It was not just another policy seminar. It was the first time Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) placed its forests on the global stage as a serious contender in the rapidly growing carbon markets. The event, led by the KP Climate Change and Forestry Department with support from international partners, unveiled three major forest-based project packages spanning Hazara, Malakand, and Dera Ismail Khan. Together, they cover hundreds of thousands of hectares over the next four decades. The purpose is clear: to trade carbon credits by…

After a topsy-turvy couple of years, it’s now (1 September) at 301p and not far off reaching its highest level for a year. And if it could break through the 310p barrier, it would also be at a five-year high. But I believe there are three reasons why it could still rise further. 1.

Image source: Getty Images Since September 2024, the AstraZeneca (LSE:AZN) share price has lagged behind that of the FTSE 100. While the index has risen 10% and set a series of new highs, the stock market valuation of Britain’s most valuable company has fallen 11%. A possible breakthrough But on Saturday (30 August), news emerged of encouraging results from a trial of a new treatment for high blood pressure (BP). The European Society of Cardiology Congress in Madrid was told that Baxdrostat, being developed by AstraZeneca, could be an “important advance in treatment and in our understanding of the cause…
The Tesco (LSE:TSCO) share price is now at a modest premium — 0.45% — to the average share price target compiled by 13 City analysts. Now, these analysts can be wrong about companies, but after a good run up in recent years, there’s evidence that Tesco shares appear to be trading near or at fair value. Let’s take a closer look. Market dominance Tesco is a stalwart of the UK grocery scene, with 28.4% of the market, according to Kantar. Tesco’s scale provides meaningful advantages, from negotiating power with suppliers to the ability to invest heavily in digital infrastructure and…

Swedish tanker owner Furetank has stepped up its decarbonisation drive, securing large-scale supplies of liquefied biomethane (LBM) to run its fleet and setting up a new company to trade emission reductions under the EU’s FuelEU Maritime regulation. The Gothenburg-based operator will power all of its dual-fuel Vinga series vessels trading in the EU on renewable gas throughout 2025, following an agreement with Cargill, Titan Clean Fuels and BRS Shipbrokers. Agricultural giant Cargill will produce the gas from waste, Titan will liquefy and deliver it, and bunkering is already underway. “What makes this agreement stand out is its scale,” said Willem…

This could lead to developers right-sizing parking based on what makes sense for a specific project, instead of current one-size-fits-all city codes that apply to both the urban core and far-flung suburbs.…
Image source: Getty Images Despite being mainly known for growth opportunities, there are plenty of lucrative dividend shares in the FTSE 250. And right now, two of the highest-yielding income opportunities are NextEnergy Solar Fund (LSE:NESF) and Foresight Solar Fund (LSE:FSFL). In fact, equally splitting £5,000 across these two stocks unlocks a combined yield of 10.9% – enough to start earning £545 passively overnight. But is this actually a good idea? The bull case With both businesses focused on investing in renewable energy assets and using the cash flow to pay an inflation-linked dividend, the appeal for investors is clear.…
