Evaluating the potential and eligibility of conservation agriculture practices for carbon creditsPublished: 22 April 2024.
Carbon credits, a voluntary market mechanism to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, can incentivize climate action. We evaluate the potential and eligibility of Conservation Agriculture (CA) practices for carbon credit generation in India under Verra's VM0042 methodology.
29 March 2024. WRI Africa, Aspen Institute Africa, SDSN Kenya, CAP-A and Nairobi Climate Network NCN hosted a Carbon Markets Clinic on 25 March 2024, in order to equip participants with foundational knowledge in the basics of carbon markets, to understand the role of carbon markets in Kenya.
