These gases trap heat and make the Earth hotter, causing problems like stronger storms, rising sea levels, and droughts.

Recent trades reflect consistent activity: 2019-vintage Katingan credits (VCS 1477) traded at USD3.85/tCO2e, 2020-vintage China Afforestation credits (VCS 2379) at USD3.50/tCO2e, and 2023-vintage Brazilian Landfill Gas credits (VCS 3448) at USD5.40/tCO2e, according to Viridios AI. In a boost to market confidence, the Integrity Council for the Voluntary Carbon Market (#ICVCM) approved Verra’s afforestation and reforestation (#ARR) methodology (VM0047) for its Core Carbon Principles (#CCPs) quality label. Although credits under this framework are yet to be issued, the approval signals progress. While four ICVCM panel members resigned over concerns about previously approved REDD+ methodologies, ICVCM emphasised that constructive debate strengthens market integrity. The #IRECs market also saw fresh activity. New listings included Brazil’s 2024 Solar/Wind IRECs at USD0.22/MWh and 2023 UAE Solar IRECs at USD2.10/MWh. Last week, 2024 UAE Solar IRECs were offered at USD2.45/MWh. Meanwhile, India’s 2024 Solar/Wind IRECs dipped slightly by 5 cents to USD0.75/MWh.

🌐 𝐀 𝐔𝐧𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐛𝐨𝐧 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐞: 𝐅𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞? 🌐 Kim Stanley Robinson’s 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘔𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘺 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘍𝘶𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 imagines a world undone by climate inaction, but the concept of a universal carbon price offers a real solution to the crisis 🌱. The Bridgetown Initiative, championed by Barbados Prime Minister Mia Mottley, advocates for a single, globally adopted price on carbon emissions to unify fragmented efforts and hold polluters accountable. Currently, carbon prices vary wildly, from $0.46 to $167 per tonne of CO2, creating inefficiencies. A universal standard would level the playing field, incentivise clean technologies 🌿, and drive investments into vulnerable communities most affected by climate change. Achieving this requires unprecedented global cooperation, with leadership from entities like the World Bank and central banks to create a high-integrity market. But the benefits — from reducing emissions to fostering innovation — make it a critical step toward a sustainable, equitable future.

🌍 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐛𝐨𝐧 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐭𝐬: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐓𝐫𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧-𝐃𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐫 𝐎𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 🌍 Carbon trading is poised to become a trillion-dollar asset class by the mid-2030s, as nations and businesses increasingly rely on market mechanisms to tackle greenhouse gas emissions. The Middle East, a key global energy player, is embracing this transformation, integrating carbon markets into its economic and sustainability strategies. ACX (AirCarbon Exchange)’s Andrew Cullen shared insights on the region’s progress: “The ongoing pilots and initiatives across the Middle East, especially within the GCC, clearly demonstrate the region’s serious intent to scale carbon markets in the near future. These steps will unlock opportunities in both voluntary and compliance markets.” With carbon pricing mechanisms becoming a critical factor in global trade, the Middle East is positioning itself as a key player in the evolving carbon market landscape. 🔗 Read the full article on: https://lnkd.in/gmqdtfjm #CarbonMarkets #ClimateAction #Sustainability #MiddleEast #Innovation
