Is reducing carbon emissions enough to solve the climate crisis? 🧵

According to SBTi, decarbonizing a company’s value chain in line with science and reaching net-zero emissions by mid-century, is increasingly becoming the minimum societal expectation on companies.

#climate 1/4 The Net-Zero Standard stated that companies must decrease their emissions, but they should also remove the residual emissions and go beyond value chain mitigation.

How does measurement, Reporting and Verification (MRV) de-risk carbon forward contracts? 🧵

1/4 Dec 5th is annually celebrated as World Soil Day to observe the importance of soil as a critical component of ecosystem health. It is also a day to advocate for regeneration of soils globally.

#worldsoilday #soil #soilcarbon #carbonmarkets #climateaction #netzero #climate 2/4 One of the biggest concerns is that by degrading soils, humanity is not only reducing crop productivity, but is degrading human and animal health, and particularly the soil-gut biome. This needs to be immediately reversed with better management.

How Earthbanc protects the Ecosystem?

Protecting and restoring forest, mangrove and wetland ecosystems is a critical part of systemic climate action. But their carbon storing benefits are only one part of the story. 🧵 (1/4)

Why offset with Earthbanc?

Many carbon offsets have been proven to be inaccurate, by up to 50% or in some cases 100% which means not all carbon offset and credit products should be considered equivalent. 🧵 (1/5)

#carbonoffset #earthbanc #earthbancprotocol #greeninvestment Earthbanc is the first climate fintech company to partner with the European Space Agency to use Satellite and Remote Sensing AI to measure the actual amount of carbon in offsets projects such as forests, agriculture, solar, wind and efficient cookstoves.

Did you know that 20-50 billion mangroves, when taking seagrass recovery into account, is equivalent to 1 trillion terrestrial trees in terms of carbon drawdown? 🧵 (1/5)

#Earthbanc #EarthbancProtocol #Ecosystem #RestoringMangroves That means a global effort to halt climate change would require up to 50-fold less trees than the proposed 1 trillion tree target from the ETH Zurich study. (2/5)

Ecosystems and trees store vast amounts of carbon. Protecting them from further deforestation and replanting new forests, is critical to addressing climate change. Join us in supporting farmers and communities to protect and plant! (2/4)
