🚨 Big news for carbon removal! ↓ The UK is set to become one of the first countries to formally integrate carbon dioxide removals into its Emissions Trading Scheme — a policy shift with exciting implications for the future of carbon markets. What does this policy update mean in practice? 🔹 A route for high-quality removals like direct air capture to enter compliance markets 🔹 Increased trust in throughly-regulated removals 🔹 Clearer and more stable pricing for carbon removal buyers Mission Zero’s Policy Lead, Tom Rollason, breaks down exactly what’s happening, why it matters, and what still needs to be ironed out. 👉 https://lnkd.in/eZwy24wX #CarbonRemoval #UKETS #CDR #ClimatePolicy #DirectAirCapture

🌍 Introducing BeZero's NDC data framework Article 6 carbon credits carry more than project-level risks - they also depend on whether participating countries can deliver on their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). But inconsistent reporting makes this difficult to assess. 📊 Our new NDC data framework equips carbon market stakeholders with a consistent, comparable view of country-level risks, including transparency, governance, and carbon market experience. Essential reading for project developers, investors and credit buyers seeking clarity in their Article 6 due diligence and transactions 👉 https://hubs.li/Q03HKvWZ0 #CarbonMarkets #CarbonCredits #NDCs #Article6

📢 Join our A4S Pensions Deep Dive webinar on the 25 September to explore how pension schemes are using climate scenario analysis — a crucial tool for understanding how different climate futures could impact portfolios and long-term planning. Climate scenario analysis helps pension schemes test how different futures might affect portfolios. But many existing approaches are blunt tools with an overreliance on long-term scenarios. While this creates a false sense of precision, it actually loses nuance. It’s a focus that often runs the risk of forcing us to simplify too much — moving straight from emissions pathways to GDP outcomes, ignoring the interplay of policy, technology, and markets. Forward-looking investors are shifting to bespoke approaches. These include: 🔹 Shorter horizons, often to 2030, which better align with transition milestones and carbon targets. 🔹Narrative scenarios that explore plausible combinations of policy coordination, technology, and macroeconomic forces. 🔹Sector and regional analysis, recognising that energy producers face different risks than importers, or that heavy industry responds differently to shocks than tech. By signing up for this A4S Pensions Deep Dive you will learn how pension investors are adopting these approaches to inform asset allocation, enhance risk assessment, and how you can embed climate considerations into long-term planning. 👉 Register via the link in the comments!

Nuclear Energy heating up And it's pathway to commercialisation is edging closer Here at ClimateHack, we caught up with 12 experts to unpack fission and fusion's potential to unlock abundant, carbon-free energy at scale. As Robin neatly summarised "With several well-capitalized contenders, it’s too early to tell which technology will ultimately win, but the race to commercialisation is unquestionably on" With thanks to Robin Neff at World Fund Brian Berzin of Thea Energy nT-Tao Compact Fusion Power Amit Singh of NearStar Fusion Itxaso Ariza of Tokamak Energy Kieran Furlong of Realta Fusion Kyle Schiller of Marathon Fusion David Bryon of First Light Fusion Rustem Ospanov of Firefly Fusion Greg Piefer of SHINE Technologies Valerie Gardner at Nucleation Capital Jay Yu of NANO Nuclear Energy Inc.

The UK Government’s recent consultation on voluntary carbon and nature markets was an important milestone for corporate climate action. Rather than seeking to curtail voluntary markets, the UK sought to understand how government could provide the right enabling conditions and clarity for markets to thrive, and for companies to take credible action and make public claims with confidence.     At Gold Standard we welcome this initiative and provided feedback to the consultation, reflecting our work to guide companies to take action and make claims within a science-based climate framework.     We look forward to the Government’s response following the consultation and any concrete actions that are brought forward.      In the meantime, you can read: https://lnkd.in/eDbyYzB5
