The Baseline Brief
What moved in carbon this week, and what it means if you export from Africa. Weekly.
The Baseline Brief, edition 04
Ghana has authorised 12.7 million tonnes under Article 6 and issued 34,705. Europe has started negotiating how far CBAM reaches. And COP31 opens in Antalya next week.
The Baseline Brief, edition 03
Africa's carbon summit asks what makes a credit trustworthy. Tanzania has 117 projects registered and six producing. And Washington has opened a review of Europe's carbon border rules.
The Baseline Brief, edition 02
Europe's carbon border price jumped 9 percent in Q3. Ghana has committed over half its Article 6 budget. And buyers are writing terms, not just prices, into carbon deals.

Only seven companies in a hundred measure all three scopes, and the share is falling.
What a default value actually costs a Ghanaian exporter

Every platform can calculate. The unsolved problem is getting a real number out of a supplier who has never been asked for one.
