Only with robust rules and a fully operational Article 6 we can leverage the full potential of carbon markets. Key takeaway at today’s ICC, @IETA, @ERCST_org public-private dialogue. Watch here 🎥: bit.ly/3X2pRcH #SB58

.@Em_Gerrard warns of implementation challenges, partly due to the change in intent of the #SafeguardMechanism, from trying to control emissions reductions purchased by the government to trying to actively cut emissions.

Australia's climate change inaction violated Torres Strait Islanders' rights, UN finds abc.net.au/news/2022-09-23/u…

Australia's climate change inaction violated Torres Strait Islanders' rights, UN finds

The Australian government had called for the case to be dismissed, saying there was insufficient evidence that the consequences of climate change would affect the islanders' enjoyment of their rights.

Another key decision out of the US, this time about the US EPA’s ability to regulate GHG emissions. Likely to add to focus on climate adaptation and loss & damage at COP27. Thanks @MichaelGerrard for your balanced distillation of the case and its implications @CarbonMarketIns

I was just interviewed on Australian radio about the Supreme Court's decision in the West Virginia case. There is clearly international concern about the ability of the US to meet its climate commitments, and the effect this has on other countries' willingness to act.
