Voluntary #carbon markets face a dilemma. 🌍 ☁️ 💭 Carbon dioxide remains in the atmosphere for much longer that carbon offset projects typically are required to remove or reduce carbon emissions. We discuss potential solutions in @trellisgroup_. trellis.net/article/compan…

Webinar alert ⏰ 💻 Join Policy Integrity on Thursday, January 29 for an expert panel about #carbon markets. Researchers and practitioners will talk about novel approaches to assessing offset equivalence and improving outcomes from carbon markets. policyintegrity.org/news/event/car…

In a new issue brief, we discuss the legal requirements that apply when a federal agency wants to rescind a regulation it claims was unlawfully issued. 📩 The Trump Administration has been flouting these requirements. policyintegrity.org/publications/d…
