Each episode examines a specific mechanism — from EU ETS permit prices to the impact of US Inflation Reduction Act subsidies on corporate balance sheets — and traces how these policies ripple through energy markets, manufacturing, and consumer prices. Lucas brings the numbers and institutional context (how the World Bank's carbon pricing dashboard works, what the Social Cost of Carbon actually measures), while Luna pushes for the practical implications: does a €50 carbon tax actually change behavior? What happens when a steel plant in Germany faces both emission costs and Chinese competition? The show serves investors, policy analysts, and business leaders who need to understand climate-related financial risk without the activism or greenwashing. Listeners walk away able to parse a carbon offset market, evaluate a company's net-zero roadmap, and spot the difference between a real price signal and a political slogan. How do you put a number on a ton of carbon — and who pays when that number is wrong? #CarbonPricing #GreenPolicy #SustainabilityCosts #EUETS #Infla…","last_synced_at":"2026-07-19T06:19:03.667812+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/climate-economics-with-fexingo-carbon-pricing-green-policy-and-sustainability-costs-7871781"},"episode":{"title":"How Carbon Credits Are Being Audited for Integrity","slug":"how-carbon-credits-are-being-audited-for-integrity","published_at":"2026-06-19T06:46:36+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/climate-economics-with-fexingo-carbon-pricing-green-policy-and-sustainability-costs-7871781/how-carbon-credits-are-being-audited-for-integrity","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/climate-economics-with-fexingo-carbon-pricing-green-policy-and-sustainability-costs-7871781","url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/climate-economics/episode-0060.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/climate-economics/episode-0060.mp3","summary":"Carbon credits are facing a credibility crisis — and 2026 is the year the auditing system gets teeth. Lucas and Luna drill into the new Integrity Council for the Voluntary Carbon Market standards that took full effect this March, examining a specific case: how one reforestation project in Kenya had its credits retroactively cut by 40 percent after an audit revealed over-counting. They trace the mechanics of buffer pools, third-party verification, and the growing role of satellite monitoring. Luna asks whether the new rules are strong enough to prevent greenwashing, and Lucas walks through the numbers: the voluntary market was worth roughly $2 billion last year, but a 2025 study from the University of California found that nearly 30 percent of offset credits from nature-based projects did not represent real emission reductions. The conversation lands on what this means for companies buying credits and for the price trajectory of high-integrity carbon. A focused, numbers-driven look at the infrastructure behind the carbon market's integrity push. #CarbonCredits #CarbonMarkets #VoluntaryCarbonMarket #ClimatePolicy #CarbonAudit #IntegrityCouncil #ICVCM #CarbonOffset #Greenwashing #ClimateFinance #Sustainability #CarbonAccounting #Reforestation #Kenya #CarbonPricing #Economics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","meta_description":"Carbon credits are facing a credibility crisis — and 2026 is the year the auditing system gets teeth.
