01CarbonBlaze explainer

Public bodies operate in a distinct context.

A public institution may need to consider law, procurement, national or subnational accounting, reporting, public value, equity, and governance. A private-market label cannot resolve those obligations.

02CarbonBlaze explainer

Policy and project contexts remain distinct.

International mechanisms, national policies, procurement rules, and project-level crediting can interact but do not mean the same thing. Identify the authority, jurisdiction, mechanism, and stated purpose before relying on a term.

03CarbonBlaze explainer

Transparency and safeguards are public-interest topics.

A review can consider evidence access, affected communities, land and rights context, monitoring, grievance processes, and proposed public claims. This is education, not procurement or legal advice.
