👀 New Oxford Offsetting Principles released and CDR plays a key role 👀



🙌 We need all hands on deck to fight climate change and it’s encouraging to see so many countries and non-state actors pledging to achieve net zero emissions.


🌍 88% of global emissions, 92% of global GDP, and over 50% of the largest publicly listed companies are now covered by some form of net zero target.


☁️ While drastic emissions reductions need to be first and foremost the centre of our battle, the reality remains that offsetting will continue to play a critical role in net-zero targets. 


🛡️ In light of mounting concerns over carbon credit integrity and the imperative to align offsetting practices with net zero goals, the Smith School of Enterprise and the Environment - University of Oxford released their Revised Oxford Principles for Net Zero Aligned Carbon Offsetting.


⭐ Key highlights include:

--> Urgent calls to accelerate emission reductions

--> Close the carbon removal gap

--> Deploy durable carbon removals now

--> Harness the power of high-quality nature-based solutions


💡 With a focus on transparency, durability, and innovation, this research charts a course for organisations to navigate the evolving landscape of carbon markets and offsetting practices.


👏  Well done to the authors Kaya Axelsson and Injy Johnstone
