🤨 Did you realise carbon markets are full of paradoxes?

😵‍💫 There are 29 paradoxes to be precise, and they lie at the heart of why carbon markets are struggling to scale, leading to circular conversations with no end.

My favourites:

🌲BASELINE PARADOX: you get money for growing but not for protecting trees (unless someone explicitly says they will cut them down…)

🤑 ADDITIONALITY PARADOX: the more financially successful your project, the less likely it will qualify for credit revenue.

🤩 NOVELTY PARADOX: we tend to prioritise and value shiny new technologies more than tried and tested ones.

And there are many, many more.

📖 Last December, Renat Heuberger released one paradox per day, generating fascinating discussions across the industry. He now teamed up with Steve Zwick and Marco Hirsbrunner to turn these paradoxes into climate fiction: The Carbon Paradox - now available on Amazon.

🎙️ Join us for a CDR Policy Scoop discussion with Renat Heuberger and Eve Tamme, where we will go through our favourite paradoxes and what they mean for carbon removal in particular.
