#CarbonMarkets at #COP30: What to expect? While #Article6o4, a carbon market mechanism, isn't taking up as much space as in the past, States might still fall for the #CarbonCasino. Rich nations & corporations are trying to gamble our lives, rights & the planet’s future away. A🧵

Systematic assessment of the achieved emission reductions of carbon crediting projects - Nature Communications

Carbon markets are key in climate strategies, but only 16% of carbon credits represent real emission reductions, based on a study of 2,346 projects. Reforms are needed to improve the effectiveness of carbon crediting mechanisms in addressing climate change.

CCS & carbon markets don’t cut emissions at the source, they license delay. #ClimateJustice means #EndFossilFuels & #PayUp. Not paying to pollute by buying offsets & continuing business as usual climate-destroying emissions. It's a slap in the face to frontline communities.

The world doesn’t need more escape hatches that only delay action to halt planet-warming pollution at its source and deepen climate chaos. States at #COP30 & the Brazilian Presidency must focus on real solutions to the climate crisis, not on this dangerous distraction. ✊ #PeopleOverProfits ✊
