Les marchés du carbone ont été à la fois diversement salués comme élément incontournable de la lutte contre la crise climatique, et dénoncés pour leur promesse écologique non tenue. Dans un sens comme dans l’autre, des sommes colossales sont en jeu : la valeur du marché mondial des crédits carbone s’élevait à près de 1 000 milliards USD en 2022 et devrait atteindre 2 680 milliards USD d’ici 2028. Leur principe consiste à compenser les émissions de gaz à effet de serre (GES) de particuliers, d’entreprises, de gouvernements et autres organisations en leur faisant financer des proj ..read more

Musim hujan telah berlalu, wilayah Asia Tenggara akan kembali menghadapi musim kemarau yang diperburuk dengan adanya El Niño, fase siklus pemanasan suhu Samudera Pasifik. Kini, negara-negara di Asia Tenggara tengah bersiap menghadapi potensi kebakaran hutan dan lahan. Tidak hanya mengancam  hutan dan ekosistem lahan yang masih sehat, kondisi ini juga berkontribusi terhadap memburuknya polusi kabut asap lintas batas dan masalah kesehatan yang disebabkan krisis iklim, seiring dengan pembakaran hutan dan lahan gambut yang melepaskan karbon dioksida dan polusi kabut asap yang melintasi batas ..read more

What’s measured matters: Agrifood system metrics for a finite planet
CIFOR » Forests News
by Monica Evans
2d ago
Our food systems are central to human existence – and major drivers of environmental change, too. As such, it’s not surprising that people across the globe try to measure, monitor, and assess the various components of the agrifood systems to see how well they’re working and what could be improved upon. But agrifood systems are also extremely complex and difficult to measure – and until recently, such metrics have been largely limited to economic aspects. “The Babylonians kept price data for agricultural commodities from as early as 500 BCE, and such metrics still make up the bulk of internatio ..read more

Os mercados de carbono têm sido elogiados como uma parte crítica da abordagem à crise climática e criticados como greenwashing (lavagem ou maquiagem verde). De qualquer forma, estão movimentando muito dinheiro: o valor negociado no mercado global de créditos de carbono foi quase US$ 1 trilhão em 2022 e deverá atingir US$ 2.68 trilhões até 2028.  Eles funcionam permitindo que indivíduos, empresas, governos e outras organizações compensem algumas de suas emissões de gases de efeito de estufa através do financiamento de projetos que reduzam ou removam as emissões de gases de efeito estufa (G ..read more

Dans un monde où l’équilibre délicat de la nature est menacé, la collecte de graines et les efforts de restauration sont essentiels pour préserver nos écosystèmes et maintenir la biodiversité. Une récente évaluation mondiale des arbres menée par Botanical Gardens Conservation International (BGCI) a révélé que 30 % des espèces d’arbres sont menacées d’extinction, avec au moins 142 espèces d’arbres répertoriées disparues dans la nature. Les principales causes de cette menace comprennent le défrichement des forêts pour les cultures de rentes et de subsistances (la perte d’habitat), l’exploitation ..read more

In a world where the delicate balance of nature is under threat, seed collection and restoration efforts are vital for safeguarding our ecosystems and preserving biodiversity. A recent global tree assessment by Botanical Gardens Conservation International (BGCI) found that 30 percent of tree species are threatened with extinction, with at least 142 species recorded as extinct in the wild. Key threats include forest clearance, habitat loss, direct exploitation for timber and other products, and the spread of invasive pests and diseases. The loss of tree species poses a significant threat to glo ..read more

“Together, we can turn the tide”

With around 18,000 islands and almost 100,000 kilometres of coastline, it makes sense that the archipelagic nation of Indonesia has particular interest in conservation, restoration, and sustainable use of blue carbon ecosystems. The phrase refers to coastal ecosystems like mangroves, salt marshes, and seagrass meadows, which stash outsize amounts of carbon dioxide – regularly outdoing the capacity of terrestrial forests. “The carbon storage capacity in mangrove ecosystems is about 1000 tonnes per hectare,” said Daniel Murdiyarso, principal scientist at the Center for International Forestry Res ..read more
