Policies Positions & Publications

The Carbon Business Council works to shape public policy to responsibly scale carbon removal and achieve a gigaton scale climate impact. Our publications and resources include issue briefs, white papers, and more.

Carbon Management is Essential.

The Carbon Business Council is grounded in the global scientific consensus that the carbon management industry needs to be scaled to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement. We support policies and scientific research that help to grow the industry.

 

Responsible Industry Growth.

The Carbon Business Council created the Oath to Restore the Earth, the premier ethical standard for carbon management professionals. The oath emphasizes the importance of transparency and additional tenets to guide policy development and the responsible growth of the industry.

 

Carbon Management Should Work In Tandem With Reducing Emissions

Carbon management cannot solve climate change alone. The Carbon Business Council supports mitigation efforts and initiatives to prepare for climate impacts.

Voluntary Carbon Markets Scales Carbon Management

A member-driven working group in the Carbon Business Council published a white paper on voluntary carbon markets, which focuses on pathways for how VCMs can scale carbon removal.

Establishing Twin Targets for Net Zero

Twin climate targets give greater transparency to net zero pledges, accounting for how much carbon management and mitigation will be required to reach net zero. This increased transparency for net zero pledges provides more certainty for carbon management growth.
