The seemingly simple question — “What types of carbon credits are available?” — is surprisingly hard to answer. That’s why RMI’s Carbon Markets Initiative just launched a new interactive tool that maps the full landscape of credit types. It makes comparisons between credit types easy, explores market and geographic trends, and identifies the key risks and quality criteria that matter most for each credit type. What you’ll find: • Sector-level overview: A high-level snapshot of credit activity organized by the climate sectors where emissions occur. • Sub-sector credit types: A breakdown of credit types within each sector, helpful for those targeting specific emissions but still exploring credit type options. • Technical explainers: Deep dives into each credit type’s market context, quality risks, and mitigation strategies. Ideal for buyers doing due diligence on a specific project. Explore the carbon credit landscape here 👉 https://bit.ly/413lj9o

🌍 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

Not all carbon credit claims are the same. Carbon credits are used for different purposes, from meeting regulatory obligations to supporting climate action beyond value chains. As the market evolves, so too do the types of claims buyers make. Policymakers must understand what this means for their national targets. Factsheet 6 explains:  ▪️The different types of claims that can be made for carbon credits  ▪️How each claim is treated under the Paris Agreement  ▪️A case study of Rwanda’s national carbon market framework Governments must be clear on how the different claims affect their national accounting under Article 6. Well defined policy frameworks explaining this can give all stakeholders the certainty they need.

📢 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!
