Krasop Blue Carbon came back onto Verra under a new proponent with VM0033 in its stack. Verra's VM0033 v3.0 revision, with a dynamic performance benchmark that changes the crediting maths for fishpond restoration, closes for comment on 5 October. ADB launched a $6 billion ASEAN Blue Economy Initiative with no carbon language yet, Vietnam's blue carbon board set six priority areas, and Madagascar's NDC named blue carbon for Article 6 authorisation.

Krasop Blue Carbon relists on Verra under a new proponent, with VM0033 in the stack
Project 5584, removed from the export last week, is back as a pipeline listing under validation: Climate+ Pte Ltd, EPIC Sustainability as validator, 562,198 t/yr.
Why it matters. A delisting followed by a relisting is how a project changes hands without a press release. Read the deep dive.
VM0033 v3.0 tidal wetland and seagrass methodology open for comment until 5 October
Modular structure, a dynamic performance benchmark, revised leakage, four new modules.
Why it matters. The dynamic benchmark changes the crediting maths for every fishpond and mangrove restoration project. Eleven days left.
ADB launches a $6 billion ASEAN Blue Economy Initiative in Manila
Fisheries, coastal resilience and marine pollution, 2026–2030, part of a $30 billion ASEAN pledge. The release does not mention carbon.
Why it matters. The money is aimed at the coasts where blue carbon projects sit. That the release has no carbon language is a gap to raise, not a signal.
Vietnam's blue carbon board sets six priority areas and opens investor dialogue
Draft National Blue Carbon Action Roadmap 2026–2030; no Article 6 detail yet.
Why it matters. Vietnam is an eligible supplier to Singapore's tender and is building the domestic pipeline to match.

Forests, energy efficiency, climate-smart agriculture, waste and blue carbon.
