How to spot a good carbon project

This week: Charles Bedford, chief impact officer at Carbon Growth Partners, talks with Ian Welsh about what differentiates a good carbon project and, in particular, what buyers should look for in REDD+ forest projects.

And, at Innovation Forum’s recent sustainable apparel and textiles conference in New York, Toby Webb, CottonConnect’s Alison Ward and Visionspring’s Ramona Hendel-Bejema reflect on some of the key discussions from the event’s panel sessions.

Plus: tropical deforestation up 10% in 2022 says Global Forest Watch; UK’s Climate Change Committee calls for quadrupling of emissions reductions in non-electricity sectors; Nestlé and Earthworm partner on cocoa forest protection project in Côte d’Ivoire; and, long-awaited ISSB standards published, in the news digest.

Host: Ian Welsh
