is a big deal in the quest to direct tens of billions of dollars toward carbon-sink and carbon-removal projects that could slash up to 2 billion tonnes of emissions by 2030. One of the goals of the effort is to promote projects in the developing world, where government-run or “compliance” markets are rare and the need to protect natural areas is acute.
Voluntary carbon markets have been around for many years, but they’ve been held back from becoming a major force in reducing carbon-dioxide emissions by a combination of factors, including fragmentation, a lack of consistent standards and concerns that buyers could be spending money on low-quality offsets or those that have been double tallied.
