An epic photo of an Eastern Bearded Dragon hiding at our Alleena property. 🦎 This prehistoric looking creature was discovered sun baking on a post by the Wilderlands conservation team during recent monitoring of the property. A species capable of changing colour as an adaptation to temperature or behavioural response technique, it can be identified by the distinctive scale pattern of its head and often flares its beard when feeling threatened to ward off predators. Feeding primarily on invertebrates and small vertebrates, as well as plant materials, this lizard lives amongst the logs and trees of these landscapes. Although the Eastern Bearded Dragon is generally widespread, much of their habitat has been greatly modified, and the species has declined in many areas throughout it's range. Deanna Marshall and the Wilderlands team alongside Cassinia Environmental are working to ensure our Alleena project is protected forever. It’s thanks to supporters like Tasman Environmental Markets (TEM), Trace | Certified B Corp™, al.ive body®, Wildya, Elliephant, and many more that species like the Eastern Bearded Dragon can now flourish amongst this habitat.

The COP29 Presidency breaks through longstanding multilateral negotiations stalemate Article 6 will provide for high-quality and transparent carbon markets through which countries and companies can work together to meet their climate goals. Additionaly, Article 6 can save as much as $250 billion per year in implementation of national climate plans.

Climate Resilient by Nature Indo-Pacific Knowledge Hub is building a community of practice and facilitating knowledge exchange to help make nature-based solutions work for people and #nature and contribute to the regional evidence base. 🌿 As part of this, we have hosted a series of webinars on voluntary #carbon markets in the Pacific that are now available for viewing. Check out the webinars to explore and unpack questions around: 🌳What is the future of carbon markets and how they can be best developed to deliver benefits for Pacific communities. 🌳Trends in buyers’ demand for high integrity carbon credits, challenges and opportunities in the enabling #environment in the Pacific. 🌳The potential of voluntary carbon markets as an approach to forest #conservation and key ‘ingredients’ for successful forest conservation projects. 🌳The role that carbon markets can play in mobilising climate #finance and the significant benefits to nature, #climate, and communities when done right. 👉🏽 Check out the series here: https://lnkd.in/gaPUJmiA Climate Resilient by Nature is an Australian Government funded initiative in partnership with WWF-Australia

Day 10 of #COP29 was urbanisation, transportation and tourism day, marking the first time tourism has been included in the climate agenda at COP! This milestone featured the launch of the COP29 Declaration on Enhanced Climate Action in Tourism, aimed at accelerating climate action through improved policies and collaboration. While tourism is highly vulnerable to climate change it also contributes to 8.8% of global carbon emissions. However, the sector presents unique opportunities to promote sustainable practices, restore eco-systems and create employment opportunities. Inextricably linked to tourism is the transport sector. A session moderated by Daniel Ng from the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore highlighted the importance of aviation in connecting people and business, while emphasising the challenges of decarbonising the growing sector. To meet the International Civil Aviation Organization ambitious 2050 net zero targets, key strategies include: 1️⃣ Reducing fuel through operational efficiencies 2️⃣ Scaling the use of sustainable aviation fuel 3️⃣ Using high-integrity carbon credits. Tasman Environmental Markets (TEM) partners with corporates, travel organizations, and airlines to reduce their environmental impact through our Blue Halo technology, integrated into booking flows to help calculate and offset carbon footprints.

Our camp, Elephant Pepper, was one of only six in Kenya to receive an Eco-Tourism Gold Award. Powered entirely by solar energy, the camp operates with minimal environmental impact, thanks to its removable tent structures and ensures stable revenue for Masai landowners. A powerful example of how sustainable tourism can truly make a difference!

At #COP29, countries made agreed standards for a UN carbon market. They've made significant progress that previous COPs could not achieve.    Negotiations continue at COP29 on the technical building blocks for carbon markets under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement.    But how do carbon markets drive climate action? Here are 5 ways 👇

My first few days at #COP29 have been both exhilarating and exhausting. The energy is palpable as climate leaders from around the world come together to share insights, opportunities, and challenges in the fight against climate change. There's a collective urgency in the air - an acknowledgment that we are running out of time to limit global warming to below 1.5°C. Climate finance is a key focus, with carbon markets seen as a vital tool for mobilising the trillions needed for decarbonisation. As Andrew Wilson from the International Chamber of Commerce emphasised, we must refocus the conversation on how voluntary carbon markets can fund projects that would otherwise be unfeasible. A roundtable on the challenges of scaling sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) further highlighted the critical role of carbon credits in supporting hard-to-abate sectors, with SAF currently making up just 0.5% of jet fuel demand. A key goal of COP29 is the operationalisation of Article 6, and Pacific Nations have emphasized its potential to accelerate climate action through cooperative approaches. However, they also highlighted the critical need for finance, capacity building, and enhanced community awareness to fully unlock its impact. Last night a panel hosted by Janet Hallows at the Carbon Market Institute (CMI) explored the integration of net-zero and nature-positive strategies for global impact. Suzanne Thompson a director at the Indigenous Carbon Industry Network shared how carbon and nature can be viewed holistically in caring for country, referencing Indigenous Savanna Fire Management Projects and emphasising the need for Indigenous participation in shaping sustainable solutions. As COP29 enters its final few days it’s clear the path forward requires urgent collaboration and commitment - we need to maintain momentum and keep pushing forward.

Just arrived in Baku, Azerbaijan, for Week 2 of the UN Climate Change Conference - COP29. I'm excited to engage in discussions on advancing carbon markets and mobilising carbon finance to drive meaningful impact, with a focus on Article 6, CORSIA, and the Voluntary Carbon Market. If you're here in Baku and would like to connect, feel free to reach out! Tasman Environmental Markets (TEM) #COP29 #ClimateAction #CarbonMarkets #Sustainability

Southland Filtration Partners with TEM to Drive Decarbonisation 🌳 We're excited to announce our partnership with Tasman Environmental Markets (TEM) to accelerate our journey towards a sustainable future. By leveraging TEM's climate action technology, BlueHalo®, we'll offset our carbon footprint across various operations, including travel and logistics. Our carbon offsets will contribute to: ❇️ Regenerating native forests and promoting sustainable agriculture in New South Wales and South-West Queensland. ❇️ Protecting millions of hectares of rainforest, safeguarding wildlife habitats and supporting local communities. ❇️ Financing renewable energy projects like wind and solar, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and improving energy access in regional areas. This collaboration aligns with our commitment to reducing our environmental impact and supporting vital initiatives that benefit both people and the planet. 🌏 Find out more here: https://hubs.li/Q02Y0QGB0 Image supplied by Tasman Environmental Markets (TEM). #WaterTreatment #SouthlandFiltration #ESG #TEM #Sustainability #Decarbonisation #climatechange
