The scale is enormous: the negotiations involve potential deals for about a tenth of Liberia\u2019s land mass, a fifth of Zimbabwe\u2019s, and swaths of Kenya, Zambia and Tanzania.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Blue Carbon\u2019s intention is to sell the emission reductions linked to forest conservation in these regions as carbon credits, under an unfinished international accounting framework for carbon markets being designed by the UN. In a market that is being designed for and by governments, Blue Carbon is among the most active private brokers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Climate negotiators meeting in the United Arab Emirates for the COP28 summit this week have been looking to finalise this framework, with the aim of sounding the starting gun on a new market in carbon credits which would allow countries to shrink their own carbon footprints by buying emission reductions from others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The trade is supposed to be simple. The 195 countries that have signed the 2015 Paris climate agreement committed to setting targets for reducing their carbon emissions by 2030. If a country exceeds these or future targets \u2014 for instance through switching to renewables, or reforesting territory that increases carbon stocks \u2014 it can sell those additional emission reductions to another country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The UAE, alongside other governments such as Switzerland and South Korea, has been betting that these international carbon markets could be a central pillar in the climate solutions offered to world leaders at COP28.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The existing international market for carbon credits is worth about $2bn, with roughly four in 10 credits sold based on nature restoration projects. Private buyers, from companies to individuals, can buy offsets for their own emissions to meet their own reduction goals. Brokers similar to Blue Carbon obtain rights to buy and sell credits, taking a cut of their value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Dear COP28,<br><br>A MESSAGE from a Small Scale Farmer in rural Kisii Kenya to the UN COP 28 in UAE. <br><br>\ud83e\uddf5 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/saGAnaykAK\">pic.twitter.com\/saGAnaykAK<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Jusper Machogu (@JusperMachogu) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JusperMachogu\/status\/1729866152183300115?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 29, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Financial Times: The looming land grab in Africa for carbon credits &#8211; Western carbon offset companies look to lock up &#8220;a tenth of Liberia\u2019s land mass, a fifth of Zimbabwe\u2019s, and swaths of Kenya, Zambia and Tanzania&#8221; &#8211; \u201cThe [methods] of exploitation might be new but the consequences are not so different to the last [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":121246920,"featured_media":290319,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_crdt_document":"","advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"Financial Times: The looming land grab in Africa for carbon credits - Western carbon offset companies look to lock up \"a tenth of Liberia\u2019s land mass, a fifth of Zimbabwe\u2019s, and swaths of Kenya, Zambia and Tanzania\" - \u201cThe [methods] of exploitation might ","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[1],"tags":[691820276,691825121,691818056,691825120,691818076,691818260,691818087,691821610,691818154],"class_list":{"0":"post-290317","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"hentry","7":"category-uncategorized","8":"tag-africa","9":"tag-blue-carbon","10":"tag-climate-change","11":"tag-climate-colonialism","12":"tag-co2","13":"tag-cop28","14":"tag-global-warming","15":"tag-land-grab","16":"tag-net-zero","18":"fallback-thumbnail"},"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/00GApj_yBWAAAQJoS-935x1024-1.jpeg?fit=935%2C1024&ssl=1","jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/paxLW1-1dwx","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":291928,"url":"https:\/\/climatescience.press\/?p=291928","url_meta":{"origin":290317,"position":0},"title":"Morano on Fox &amp; Friend: \u2018nature rights\u2019 &amp; \u2018personhood\u2019 for land, rivers &amp; trees?","author":"uwe.roland.gross","date":"19\/12\/2023","format":false,"excerpt":"Climate Depot publisher Marc Morano is here to explain.
