Indonesia has approved four forestry projects to issue carbon credits for the first time since its 2022 export moratorium, as the government launches a new national forestry carbon hub.

Japan Airlines expects carbon credits to play a growing role in helping it to meet its decarbonization targets as long as sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) remains constrained by limited supply and high costs, according to its vice president of sustainability and ESG promotion, Hideki Ochiai.

China and India together withheld host country approval from nearly 1,000 project activities, concentrating near-term PACM supply in the smaller set of countries willing to authorize transition.

The Mexico ETS is on track for a 2027 operational launch. Officials expect low initial carbon prices and a central role for offsets while emissions-intensive sectors near the limit of available cuts.

The Brazil carbon market is being built to do more than cut emissions. The government wants to turn low-carbon steel and aluminium into a trade advantage and position Brazilian green metals as the SBCE phases in.

A growing number of steelmakers across Latin America have received sustainability certifications and environmental recognitions in recent months, reflecting how the region is increasingly positioning itself within the global transition toward lower-emissions steelmaking – although questions still remain surrounding how commercially scalable and economically sustainable this transition will become.
