New carbon markets rules are being developed at the UN's Article 6 negotiations. A critical issue is "permanence" - how long does CO2 need to be stored to be credit-worthy. Corp influence is watering down the standard, reports @carbonmarketwatch.bsky.social carbonmarketwatch.org/2025/10/15/u...
UN carbon market drops the ball on permanence - Carbon Market Watch
Instead of listening to its own technical experts and scientific evidence, the body overseeing the UN carbon crediting mechanism has chosen to side with market players after intense lobbying efforts.

Diamonds and coal are both made of carbon but are not equivalent. Neither are carbon emissions and carbon removals.
That is why we need to move beyond the ‘like-for-like’ principle used to justify offsetting.

Why carbon removal policies must go beyond unrefined like-for-like approaches - Carbon Market Watch
A false equivalence is too often made between carbon emissions and the removals that may balance them. Mistaken ‘like for like’ thinking undermines the integrity of climate policies.
