Summary
Lucas and Luna explore the rapid evolution of carbon offset regulation in 2026. From the Integrity Council's new labeling system to the SEC's proposed rules on corporate offset claims, they break down what's changing and why voluntary carbon markets are under unprecedented scrutiny. The episode centers on a concrete example: a mid-sized manufacturer that spent $2 million on offsets last year now faces potential reclassification of those credits under the new ICVCM Core Carbon Principles. Lucas explains how the market is bifurcating into 'high-integrity' and 'junk' credits, and Luna challenges whether regulation can keep up with greenwashing. A sharp, specific look at how carbon offsets are moving from feel-good purchases to regulated financial instruments. #CarbonOffsets #CarbonMarkets #VoluntaryCarbonMarket #ICVCM #CarbonCredits #ClimateRegulation #Greenwashing #Sustainability #SEC #CarbonAccounting #ClimatePolicy #Economics #BusinessPodcast #ClimateEconomics #CarbonPricing #EmissionsTrading #NetZero #FexingoBusiness Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
