"We show that countries’ climate pledges require approximately 1 billion ha of land for removals. For over 40% of this area, the pledges envisage the conversion of existing land uses to forests."

Forgot to add: “sounds like a great solution, however Supplementary Table S86 mentions it will require a billion hectares of additional land”
Skriver med Inge-Merete Hougaard og Lina Lefstad i Altinget om udfordringerne ved, at CO2-fangst bliver gjort til et eksport- og væksteventyr frem for en klimaløsning.

Now that the manuscript has been submitted, I finally feel comfortable enough to share that this is happening!
Overshoot, vol. 1 - to be published by Verso, Autumn 2024.
This is just chilling new research. Can we please stop talking about #netzero and just talk about reducing emissions?

Lombard Odier Warns New Carbon Rules Will Erase Investor Value Sheryl Tian Tong Lee and Heesu Lee, Bloomberg News Patrick Odier. Patrick Odier. , Bloomberg (Bloomberg) -- New standards for the global carbon offsets market threaten to wipe out “a lot” of value for investors, according to Lombard Odier. In an attempt to improve the quality of the $1.3 billion market for offsets, the Integrity Council for the Voluntary Carbon Market’s new guidelines require projects to include 40 years of emissions monitoring and reporting, to ensure the credits continue to work as designed. “A lot of existing methodologies or existing credits don’t meet that requirement,” said Lorenzo Bernasconi, head of carbon solutions at Lombard Odier Investment Managers. Those that don’t “will be trading at a much lower price, if not be stranded altogether.”
If offsets are regulated so that they're less wracked with fraud and false claims, then they deliver less value to investors
In other words: their entire purpose is to not work. They are designed from the ground up to be fraud: if they work, they don't work

Hey, PhD student in political ecology here. Working on understanding developments in the voluntary carbon market and nature-based offsetting in a time of growing net-zero pledges and greenwashing accusations. Based at Copenhagen University. Excited to connect with fellow scholars 🌿
#HiSky
I'm a PhD in political ecology at University of Copenhagen. I research international carbon markets, corporate net-zero pledges, and nature-based carbon removal.
Also continuous to be unimpressed with 🇩🇰 climate politics.
Excited to connect with fellow scholars and activists 🌿
