Geospatial technology is an emerging field of study concerned with the geographic mapping and analysis of the Earth and is increasingly used within the VCM to help establish and monitor carbon offset projects.
SBTi’s position has evolved and now explicitly calls companies to take urgent action beyond their value chain, using both carbon avoidance and removal offsets.
In this article, we explore what are market-based carbon pricing initiatives and what are the main drivers explaining the wide variation in carbon prices in the voluntary offsetting market.
Soil carbon is solid carbon stored in soils, existing in organic and inorganic forms. Read more on its practices, risks, and methodologies in our article!
As the world progresses towards net-zero, some businesses have a harder time reducing their emissions. In this article, we discuss why that is the case and how they can adapt.
On the 8th of June 2022, the Voluntary Carbon Market Integrity Initiative (VCMI) launched the first iteration of its Claims Code of Practice. The code aims to provide much needed guidance on how businesses can use carbon offsets, how to talk about them and what claims they can make when using them.
In this article we will review initiatives which are underway with the goal to bring standardisation and definitional agreements within the VCM. We look at the current issues with quality and how new initiatives may offer solutions.
We are thrilled to announce the formation of our Technical Advisory Board. We have assembled a group of leading carbon scientists and policy experts in the field of forestry and carbon removal solutions.
Companies have started to recognize the urgency of climate action as demonstrated by a rapid acceleration of corporate’s net zero plans. However, in the absence of specific guidance on how to achieve these net zero targets, corporate approaches to climate action and environmental claims have varied widely to-date.
Previously, we have looked at the pathway for an organisation's transition to net-zero and beyond. Inevitably, most organisations will need to invest in carbon offsets to reach net-zero as their operations begin to fundamentally decarbonise, and an organisation may continue to invest in further offsetting projects to reach a climate positive goal.
The State of UK’s Voluntary Carbon market report is a snapshot of the UK voluntary market today. It investigates the potential significance of this market, how it is structured and explores the current state of supply.
On March 15th, we hosted a fireside chat discussing the current state of the carbon market, its price volatility and scarcity in supply and how long-term offtake agreements can help market participants navigate this dynamic environment.
Carbon markets are booming, predominantly driven by expectations that carbon offsetting demand from corporate buyers is set to increase as a result of corporate net zero commitments.
Whether you manage an international business, a complex financial portfolio, or simply your personal affairs as a citizen, decarbonising your activities requires understanding a number of important terminologies.
Join us on the 15th of March to discuss how long-term offtake agreements can help carbon market participants navigate the supply shortage and rising prices of carbon credits.
Abatable announces strategic partnership with carbon streaming investment company Carbon Neutral Royalty to provide market intelligence, access to carbon offsetting projects, and act as distribution partner
On January 25th, we hosted fireside chat in conversation with AlbaCore Capital Group, discussing the main challenges and opportunities of executing a carbon offsetting strategy as an asset management company.
In the lead up to the COP26 Climate Conference in Glasgow last year, the UK Government released a flurry of climate-related announcements connected to policy and upcoming financial industry regulation. These included a new Net Zero Strategy, Green Savings Bonds, and a date to enshrine Mandatory Climate Disclosures (MCD) into UK law.
Investment managers around the world are increasingly waking up to climate change. From the decarbonization toolkit, investment managers are eyeing a new concept – “carbon neutral” funds. But what does a carbon neutral fund look like, and what does this mean for investors?

The IPCC’s latest report (AR6) says that we have a carbon budget of 400 giga tonnes of CO2 (GtCO2) for a likely chance (67% chance) to stay within the +1.5 C degree celsius threshold (since pre-industrial levels). This is the carbon budget we...
