What the New GHG Protocol Land Sector and Removals Standard Means for Companies The Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol has released the Land Sector and Removals Standard (LSR Standard), its first standard dedicated to greenhouse gas accounting for land-related emissions and CO₂ removals. This is a big step for any company that depends on land, agriculture, forests, or carbon removal technologies to meet climate targets. What the LSR Standard Covers The LSR Standard gives companies

Due to the ecological importance and vast extent of mountainous regions in Türkiye, this study assesses the impact of land use and land cover (LULC) changes in these areas on national greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from 2000 to 2022. The monitoring of LULC changes was conducted using Collect Earth (CE), an open-source tool developed by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). Collect Earth utilizes high-resolution imagery from Google Earth and Bing M

EU Carbon Removal Certification Framework (EU Carbon Farming Law) Certification is a crucial element of carbon markets. In December 2024, the European Parliament reached a political agreement to create the first EU-level certification framework for permanent carbon removals, carbon farming, and carbon storage in products. This voluntary framework is designed to reduce carbon emissions in the EU by promoting activities that enhance carbon removal and emission reduction. The re

Afforestation is more than just planting trees; it is a powerful tool in the fight against climate change. As global temperatures rise and the impacts of deforestation become increasingly apparent, afforestation has emerged as a critical strategy for carbon sequestration. This blog post explores the myriad benefits of afforestation, particularly in the context of carbon certification initiatives, and how these efforts can contribute to a more sustainable future. Understanding

Urban parks are essential green spaces that provide numerous benefits to cities and their inhabitants. They enhance biodiversity, improve air quality, and offer recreational opportunities. However, as cities continue to grow, the environmental impact of urbanization becomes increasingly significant. One way to mitigate this impact is through carbon certification for urban parks. This blog post will explore the steps involved in achieving carbon certification, the benefits it

The urgency of climate change has led to a growing interest in carbon certification systems, particularly those focused on land-based projects. These systems play a crucial role in measuring, verifying, and certifying carbon sequestration efforts, which are essential for mitigating greenhouse gas emissions. In this blog post, we will explore the intricacies of land-based carbon certification systems, their significance, and how they operate. What Are Land-Based Carbon Certifi
