The UK government has announced plans to consult on strengthening integrity in the voluntary carbon and nature markets. Sebastien Cross, co-founder of carbon rating agency BeZero Carbon, says the announcement is an “immense relief”. “It’s essential we renew momentum and scale this burgeoning sector after two years of uncertainty,” he says. The consultation will take forward work first announced by the previous government in March 2023 as part of its green finance strategy.

Despite its rhetoric on sustainability at home, the EU is failing to ensure similar standards for its exports, NGOs say. Greenpeace and Amnesty International have called on the EU to bring in legislation aimed at closing loopholes that allow certain substances that are banned for use domestically — including certain pesticides, chemicals, single-use plastics and artificial intelligence systems — to be exported to non-EU countries.

Global spending on clean energy technology and infrastructure is likely to hit $2tn in 2024, with $315bn of that happening in the US, according to the International Energy Agency. Since the Inflation Reduction Act came into force two years ago, the US has seen more investment in clean energy than ever — yet in the same period, the country has become the world’s biggest oil and gas producer and exporter. High oil and gas returns continue to deter some investors from moving their money. Read more below. #oilandgas #InflationReductionAct #cleanenergy https://lnkd.in/e4RqYSk9

Today marks the launch of the Women Leading On Climate network at New York Climate Week. Climate leaders Catherine McKenna, María Mendiluce, Ana Toni, Patricia Espinosa Cantellano and Jennifer Morgan are founding members of the group alongside others from the business, politics and non-profit sectors. The network's initial focus will be pushing for "clear and investable" country climate plans by early 2025. Meanwhile, in the latest episode of the Sustainable Views podcast, Philippa Nuttall is joined by network member and former Canadian environment minister Catherine McKenna and Aron Cramer, CEO and president of sustainability consultancy BSR. The group discuss how more women can be brought into the climate space and what changes their involvement can bring. "While over 70 per cent of people globally want more climate action than their governments are delivering, when you break that down, women are two and a half times more likely to respond to messaging that says we need more significant climate action," McKenna says.

Meanwhile, Academics at the PIK - Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research warn of the dire state of the earth's health with six of the nine planetary boundaries crossed.

In a recent opinion in Sustainable Views, Samuel Sinclair suggested that biodiversity credits are a “distraction” from efforts to get companies to solve biodiversity loss “within their own supply chains”. Today, Timothy Male executive director of the Environmental Policy Innovation Center argues in their favour. Biodiversity credits are "a centuries-long strategy that must be part of any effort to conserve biodiversity, because we have no way to eliminate biodiversity loss tied to a growing and increasingly prosperous global population," he argues.
