Collaboration will accelerate restoration and protection of hundreds of thousands of hectares in the Global South to sequester and store carbon at scale, provide tangible benefits to local communities, and restore ecosystems LOS ANGELES , Dec. 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Climate finance company Catona Climate is teaming up with global nonprofit Eden: People+Planet through its full-service carbon project development company Compassionate Carbon, a wholly-owned subsidiary, to finance landscape-scale high-integrity nature-based Agriculture, Forestry, and Other Land Use (AFOLU) projects that will restore hundreds of thousands of hectares across the Global South and remove millions of tonnes of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, while generating substantive benefits to local communities and regional biodiversity. Eden's Compassionate Carbon draws on nearly 20 years of experience and its work in ten countries to engage local communities and develop and operate large-scale nature-based projects. Compassionate Carbon and Catona Climate will look for opportunities to collaborate on project design to maximize ecological, biodiversity and social benefits. Catona Climate will help projects get off the ground and deliver sustained impact by securing project financing; bolstering both on-the-ground and tech-driven remote monitoring and engagement activities; driving sales through forward offtake agreements with its deep network of enterprise buyers; and providing storytelling support for projects. "Compassionate Carbon is excited for an opportunity to bring mission critical elements to the forefront of the carbon marketplace through careful and strategic project design and holistic implementation of ecosystem restoration efforts for the benefit of people+planet, " said Bryan Adkins , CEO of Eden. "The true and lasting impact we all hope for will only be achieved through like-minded partners working together for decades to come. Then we will celebrate a world where all people thrive through healthy and restored environments." While nature-based carbon projects represent one of several critical, proven solutions to combat climate change, they require significant upfront capital to get off the ground. Yet, these projects have the potential to generate meaningful carbon revenue for decades as they sequester and store carbon over time. Compassionate Carbon projects are specifically designed with community benefits and ecosystem services at the core to maximize the value to both the people disproportionately affected by climate change and the resulting emission reduction and removal credits to the market. Catona's innovative climate financing model helps solve this problem by supporting early-stage nature-based projects through an initial capital investment as well as enhanced monitoring capabilities that leverage Catona's trusted network of tech-based monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV) partners. This helps incentivize large enterprise buyers in Catona's network to sign long-term offtake deals for future carbon removals as part of their net-zero commitments. In turn, these enterprise offtake agreements help derisk projects and serve as a critical mechanism to unlock capital from other financiers looking to invest in nature-based solutions. "This type of collaboration is exactly what the Catona model is designed to facilitate and scale, and we're delighted to be embarking on this journey with a partner like Compassionate Carbon that embodies the highest levels of integrity in the market," said Catona Climate CEO Tate Mill . "What this means for our enterprise partners is access to a massive new supply of high-quality nature-based credits; what it means for our financing partners is new attractive investment opportunities; and what it means for people and the planet is more economic opportunity, more biodiversity, and a lot less carbon in the air."

Guided by an unwavering commitment to the planet, Catona Climate exists to combat the climate crisis by driving capital to nature and enabling a fair and equitable transition to a net-zero future.

Marvel Rivals players who thought they escaped Overwatch’s dominating Hanzo meta have realized it’s been repackaged as Hawkeye. One shots are back on the table, and players aren’t happy. For years, Overwatch players resented the overpowering qualities of heroes like Hanzo and Widowmaker. Between balance updates and other tweaks, the two snipers often frustrated players with their pinpoint accuracy, too-large projectiles, and one-shot kills . Now another long-range character in a different hero shooter is similarly wrecking havoc – Marvel Rivals’ Hawkeye. This version of Hawkeye has already come under fire due to the sheer amount of damage he deals. As such, Overwatch veterans fear the Marvel Rivals developers haven’t learned from the former’s shortcomings. Marvel Rivals players dub Hawkeye “Hanzo on steroids” Calls for NetEase to nerf the bow-wielding vigilante won’t cease. “Please nerf this character. He makes the game miserable to play,” wrote one person in a Reddit post . Elsewhere, another user said Hawkeye makes matches “1,000,000,000x less fun.” For many, Hawkeye’s gameplay-related problems are numerous. One-shot kills, oversized projectiles, and an insanely quick fire rate count as but a few. With these in mind, players have likened him to “original Hanzo from OW.” It’s “pretty absurd how good he is even with mediocre aim,” a user lamented in one thread. Others pointed out that, akin to Widowmaker and Hanzo, Hawkeye will continue to make Marvel Rivals less fun so long as “long range 1 shots are a thing.” Another frustrated plalyer chimed in to add, “Had the problem with Overwatch’s Hanzo, his one-shots always felt BS. Low skill, low risk, high reward is how it seems making deaths feel unjust and unfair.” Related: Interestingly, a mid-September 2024 update gave Hanzo back his ability to one-shot kill OW2 heroes. The change came several months after Season 9 nerfs that players labeled “soulless.” Reason suggests Hawkeye will experience similar ups and downs throughout Marvel Rivals’ life cycle. But since NetEase has yet to address the ongoing complaints, there’s no telling when players can expect balance updates to tweak his weapons and abilities.NoneSouth Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol survived impeachment on Saturday as his ruling party refused to join an opposition bid to oust him after he shocked the nation and its allies by briefly declaring martial law. The impeachment vote failed to gain the 200-vote hurdle needed to suspend the president from duties, after the ruling party boycotted the vote. A lengthy standoff followed as the opposition waited for ruling party members to change their minds and vote. Despite some of them doing so it eventually became clear the motion wouldn’t pass. The opposition, which controls a majority in the legislative body, has said it will push quickly for another vote. The attempt to oust the president came after Yoon, 63, shook markets and surprised world leaders by declaring martial law for the first time since South Korea became a democracy nearly four decades ago. He rescinded the order six hours later after lawmakers raced to the National Assembly and voted down the decree. While the outcome leaves Yoon in office for now, the ruling People Power Party will need to quickly find ways to shore up the administration and stabilize the situation to avoid the kind of escalating public protests seen in South Korea in the past. PPP leader Han Dong-hun vowed to seek the president’s orderly exit to minimize the turmoil, telling reporters that Yoon will be effectively suspended from duties until he steps down. Prime Minister Han Duck-soo will take the lead role in running state affairs through close consultations with the ruling party, while communicating with opposition parties, the party leader said. Under the country’s constitution, the prime minister’s role is to assist the president and direct the ministries following orders from the president. Minutes after the failure of the vote, opposition Democratic Party leader Lee Jae-myung accused the ruling party of betraying the public. He apologized for failing to pass the motion, as other opposition lawmakers stood by him holding banners that read, “Impeach Yoon Suk Yeol.” “We will ultimately impeach Yoon Suk Yeol,” Lee said. “We will return the state back to normal for you as a Christmas gift.” The ruling party’s decision to boycott the vote came hours after Yoon apologized for plunging the country into a political crisis, saying he would leave it up to the ruling party to decide his fate. The opposition bloc needed only eight votes from the ruling PPP to impeach Yoon. But Yoon’s conservatives refused to vote in favor of the motion, a move that would’ve likely handed their political opponents a big win in an early election that would have followed if he was removed. The impeachment bid looked set to fail much earlier Saturday evening when members of the ruling party left the National Assembly without voting. But before casting their ballots, opposition members together called on each member of the PPP by name to return to vote. “This incident will be written in our history, one that’s been built by the blood and sweat of our people,” parliamentary speaker Woo Won-shik said, as he urged ruling party lawmakers to return to the chamber and vote. “The head of a conservative group cannot speak alone for individuals’ consciences and values.” In an unexpected twist, two of them did, adding to the one PPP member who already voted. That emboldened the opposition to leave proceedings at a standstill with several hours remaining before the 72-hour limit for the voting period was due to expire. The votes by the three PPP members had prompted protesters outside the National Assembly to chant “five more to go.” As of 7 p.m., police estimated at least 100,000 people were gathered near the parliament to demand Yoon’s impeachment, compared with 18,000 Yoon supporters gathered near Gwanghwamun as of 6 p.m., according to Yonhap News. But the chances of the impeachment failing strengthened when one of the ruling party members who cast a ballot said he voted against it. The crowds started to thin as the likely result became clearer, the temperature dropped and food stalls started packing up having sold out of refreshments. “I had planned to take rest this weekend but I felt so scared after martial law,” said Park Hye-rim, a 33-year-old office worker from northern Seoul. “Even if impeachment is voted down, I will come back to rally again and again. I will not give up.” The political uncertainty in South Korea appears likely to persist, according to Jun Rong Yeap, a market strategist at IG Asia Pte. “Growing public outcries and intensifying pressure from the opposition party could potentially increase the risk of defections among PPP members,” he said, adding that the sustained uncertainty could remain a drag on its equities market into the new week. ——— (With assistance from Sohee Kim, Sangim Han, Sangmi Cha, Jaehyun Eom, Seyoon Kim, Hooyeon Kim, Shinhye Kang, Heejin Kim, Whanwoong Choi, Youkyung Lee, Eunkyung Seo and Min Jeong Lee.) ©2024 Bloomberg News.
