New research raises serious concerns about impacts of land-intensive #NatureBasedSolutions - central to the #VoluntaryCarbonMarket - on vulnerable communities.
❗ More comprehensive #CarbonStandards are crucial ❗

Do not miss this critical work released by @tmgthinktank.bsky.social today! While #carboncredits may seem like a win for the climate, what often goes unnoticed is their massive appetite for land that millions depend on for survival. #LandRights4NetZero #carbonjustice #carbonoffsets #LandRights
📢 Our latest report explores how carbon offset projects can ignore people's land rights. Equip yourself with data, insights, and strategies to advance land rights for just climate action.
