The US is creating a carbon-offset plan for corporations that would fund developing countries' moves to clean energy. Presented by PwC.
"While the announcement proposes some improvements to the current market — like supporting adaptation and excluding fossil fuel providers — it should not be branded as a climate-finance tool if it's being used to generate carbon offsets," said Jonathan Crook, a policy expert at Carbon Market Watch, a watchdog group."Buying emissions reductions from developing countries is not the same thing as channeling climate finance and raises questions about who can count the reductions.
Passing the 1.5-degree threshold would mean catastrophic damage to humanity and the environment, including deadly storms, heat waves, and drought.to put up $100 billion a year by 2020 for poorer nations to build out clean-energy and other infrastructure that reduces emissions and is more resilient to the impacts of the climate crisis.
These enormous funding needs can't be met with public finance alone, Kerry said, adding that's why voluntary carbon markets should play a role. He said the Energy Transition Accelerator didn't absolve any nation or company from its obligations. Kerry said he hoped the plan could be developed over the next year, in time for the UN's 2023 climate summit in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

How Do Carbon Dioxide and Other Greenhouse Gases Trap Heat?Just how does climate change work? It’s something scientists have known about for more than 150 years. The physics and chemistry is simple enough you can replicate it at home. The way carbon molecules vibrate, their shape and everything blocks infrared radiation — heat — from escaping Earth. It fills holes in the light spectrum, blocking heat’s escape path. Think of it like a blanket or a giant greenhouse. The effect makes Earth a habitable planet, but Venus next door shows there can be too much of a good thing and that’s why scientists are worried about climate change.
