Farming Practices Can Drive Climate Solutions Through Carbon Sequestration
From cover crops to reduced tillage, farmers are adopting practices that store carbon in the soil—unlocking potential for both climate impact and new income through carbon credits.
Telangana Farmers Earn Carbon Credits Through Sustainable Paddy Cultivation
A Gold Standard-certified project in Telangana is helping 35,000 farmers cut methane emissions from paddy fields, save water, and earn carbon credits—creating a new revenue stream through sustainable agriculture.
UN Adopts ‘Suppressed Demand’ Standard to Aid Underserved Communities
A new UN standard on “suppressed demand” allows climate projects in underserved communities to earn carbon credits for meeting basic needs, even if emissions rise as a result. This ensures climate finance can support both emissions reduction and essential service access, creating fairer opportunities for development-focused projects under the Paris Agreement.
EU’s 2040 Climate Target Could Transform Global Carbon Markets
