Matthew Walley's eyes sweep over the large forest that has sustained his Indigenous community in Liberia for generations. Even as the morning sun casts a golden hue over the canopy, a sense of unease lingers. Their use of the land is being threatened, and they have organised to resist the possibility of losing their livelihood. In the past year, the Liberian government has agreed to sell about 10 per cent of the West African country’s land - equivalent to 10,931 square kilometres - to Dubai-based company Blue Carbon to preserve forests that might otherwise be logged and used for farming, the p...

MEPs are set to back severe limits on the use of carbon offsetting arrangements this week, as they step up an EU war on greenwashing. The European Parliament’s environment and internal market committees will on Wednesday (14 February) vote on a proposed Green Claims Directive, setting out exactly how companies should back ecological promises.
