I am thrilled that "The Human Limit," our 2023 series exploring the threat #climate poses to human health, has won @SH_Awards Excellence in Environmental Reporting. Thanks to @carbonplanorg and everyone at @washingtonpost who worked to bring it to life. scripps.com/fund/news/scripp…
Not all ocean alkalinity enhancement (OAE) deployments will work the same because not all parts of the ocean work the same. We built a new interactive mapping tool using data from @_CWorthy to show how OAE changes based on where and when it’s deployed.
Check out the interactive OAE efficiency map here: carbonplan.org/research/oae-…
We’re looking for an Open Source Lead who can help us design and build open software and data infrastructure to tackle hard climate problems. If you feel passionate about this work and ready to manage a small, flexible team, we hope you’ll apply!

Models broadly agree that climate change is affecting risks. But when private risk analysis companies assess danger for individual addresses, the results can vary substantially. Consumers need to know that any one company’s assessment doesn’t represent a singular truth. (1/8)
Bloomberg covered this work in an article released today. (7/8) bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
We also aren’t the only people concerned about the lack of transparency in private climate risk prediction. Bloomberg also published a feature today that also found differences between companies in an analysis independent from ours. (8/8) bloomberg.com/graphics/2024-…

From our recent webinar with @carbonplanorg, learn how voluntary carbon offset markets work and how journalists can use OffsetsDB, a free data repository, to check companies’ carbon neutrality and “net zero” claims:

Our research found that some low-quality projects received ICVCM offset credit quality labels. The organization has said it is looking into this problem. For now, we suggest market participants adjust their expectations about what the process can deliver.

Our open-source development team is making it easier to use Zarr to create web visualizations of high-resolution earth science data. Read more about our new toolkit for data-driven maps at the Pangeo Medium blog.

We’ve been covering two problems with the offsets market: carbon losses from wildfire and disclosure of project boundaries. Now, one fire in Northern California is bringing them together.

The ICVCM released its first batch of credit quality labels. But our research found that some low-quality projects have slipped through, raising doubts about a system that was supposed to make offsets more trustworthy.
