Taskforce on Scaling Voluntary Carbon Markets unveils recommendations on how to scale up investment in emission reduction programmes, but environmental campaigners remain unimpressed. And it stresses that global emissions targets are likely to be missed without a fresh approach for driving investment in negative emissions projects.

A group of exciting start-ups are exploring whether the world's trash mountains could become a valuable source of low carbon hydrogen fuels. One novel spin on emerging hydrogen fuel options is "clean hydrogen" made from trash. It concluded this approach could be a cost-effective way to actually achieve negative emissions.

Even more worrying is a fact David Wallace-Wells points out in his best-selling book Uninhabitable Earth : more than half of the carbon emitted in the atmosphere today was emitted in the past 30 years. With just one mention of 'renewables' in the entire text, the Paris Agreement is broadly technology neutral. What would change?
