🌎🇧🇷 Brazil can trade oil dependence for a clean export era

In recent years, carbon market laws, guidance & policies have proliferated. These are often ad-hoc, not harmonised & not net-zero aligned. In "Roadmap to Net-Zero Aligned Carbon Market Regulation", authors from Oxford & Climate Asset Management offer a framework for carbon market design & reform.

When China makes a climate pledge, the world should listen
Beijing has a track record of only promising what it plans to deliver. But too often the world’s attention is elsewhere.
