Notes on developments in climate policy and carbon markets as they happen, with emphasis on what actually changed rather than what was merely announced.

5 tracks · 99 sourced claims · 43 dated gaps · 34 primary sources monitored · last checked 1 Oct 2026 · 10 currently unreadable, reported as unknown rather than unchanged

Counted from the records on every page load, never typed. A dated gap is a question one of the six slots asks that has no answer yet — recorded with the day the watch began, rather than left blank. A source that cannot be read is reported as unknown rather than assumed unchanged.

When something changes

These pages are re-checked on a schedule. Leave an address and you will hear when a track actually changes — at most once a week, never otherwise, and nothing else.

No list, no sequence, no sharing. One address, one purpose, and removed the day you ask.

Corrections

If a figure here is wrong, say so. It will be corrected, dated, and the correction left visible.

© 2026 Carbon Market India. Standing disclosure: this site is written and maintained by Richard N. Bright, who is CEO of Carbon Registry India — a non-profit carbon standard and an initiative of the Network for Certification and Conservation of Forests — and who separately provides paid advisory work on carbon markets, MRV and compliance readiness. Those interests are declared where they could matter rather than only here: every slot on a track ends in one next step and names the commercial relationship behind it either way, most point to a primary document or to somebody else entirely, and some record that nobody can help yet and say since when. Nothing on a track is sponsored, placed or paid for, and no commission or referral arrangement affects what appears or how a state is judged. Every claim names the document it came from and the day it was last checked; where something could not be established it is listed as a dated gap or as not citable, rather than softened into language that merely sounds sourced. None of this is legal, financial, investment or compliance advice, it is not a substitute for reading the primary documents yourself, and it does not create a client relationship.
