Talk:Carbon finance

Environmental technology template

I'd like to replace the Environmental technology template with one that matches the standard navbox style, i.e. horizontal instead of vertical, collapsing and typically placed at the bottom of article pages. I've done a mock up of what this would look like at {{User:Jwanders/ET}}. Figured this was a big enough change that I should post before going ahead with it. Please discuss here--jwanders^Talk 22:03, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Merge into climate finance?

Can this article be merged into climate finance or does it need to remain as a stand-alone article? Pinging User:Richarit, User:Chidgk1. EMsmile (talk) 17:12, 11 December 2023 (UTC)

Or should it rather be merged into carbon price? Pinging also User:Dtetta EMsmile (talk) 17:14, 11 December 2023 (UTC)

I think merging it to either of those articles would be fine. It certainly doesn’t seem to merit its own article. Dtetta (talk) 17:46, 11 December 2023 (UTC)

Agree. The article looks quite out of date and it only really mentions offsetting, not other carbon/mitigation finance.

We can merge it into climate finance (which I am working on at the moment). Offsetting is one of the financial models mentioned already there but it is using an excerpt from Carbon offsets and credits . So maybe we could also incorporate directly into the carbon offsets article ?

Is there anything worth keeping from the article that is not already covered in the other articles? Richarit (talk) 17:14, 12 December 2023 (UTC)

The World Bank historical estimates should be merged into Carbon emission trading#History. Information about the Clean Development Mechanism and Joint Implementation should probably be there too, but the text here is unsourced (there is some sourced text at Kyoto Protocol. The World Bank section here could be moved directly to Climate finance#Multilateral climate funds, which already has a World Bank paragraph. CMD (talk) 09:20, 13 December 2023 (UTC)

Thanks, Chipmunkdavis. Do you agree that the article should be merged out of existence, and if yes, where should the term "carbon finance" in the end be redirected to? EMsmile (talk) 10:13, 13 December 2023 (UTC)

The mergers I mention would cover all sources content, and I'd redirect this to Climate finance as roughly synonymous. CMD (talk) 14:12, 13 December 2023 (UTC)

Thanks. I have moved the WB section now to climate finance. I put it in Climate finance#Multilateral development banks, rather than Climate finance#Multilateral climate funds MCF because this is how it is categorised according to climate funds update (the source I used) and when the financial flows are tracked. There were some sources for the CDM and JI that have left in. Richarit (talk) 14:18, 13 December 2023 (UTC)

I have copied over the carbon market data. That is as far as I see the merge done. CMD (talk) 01:22, 14 December 2023 (UTC)

• Support merge to wherever you guys think best Chidgk1 (talk) 13:44, 13 December 2023 (UTC)

OK, so I have replaced the remaining text with a redirect to climate finance because the remaining text was not usable anywhere else. Thanks for the collaboration. EMsmile (talk) 12:09, 14 December 2023 (UTC)
