I agree that of the peer reviewed evidence from researchers broadly supports this critique.
More attention to expanding (and carefully assessing) social and environmental impact with producer and worker partners - would be welcome.
Researchers: Certifications don't live up to their promises
News: There are BILLIONS of dollars to be made in certifications & that number is going up faster than your wages or other measures of well-being.

ALT Bar graph with a headline that reads "Food Certification market, GLobal forecast to 2028" Bar graph shows that the money to be made in certifications is going up. The "certification market" is valued at 5.6 BILLION dollars in 2023 and is estimated to go up 5.7% to $7.4 billion by 2028. The bar graph further breaks down growth by global region; the market for certified products is greatest in Europe then North America, then Asia-Pacific. All regions appear to increase based on the size of their respective bars.

10 AM CDT Sunday, October 9 Key Messages for Tropical Storm #Julia.
nhc.noaa.gov/refresh/graphic…
ALT Key Messages: 1. Julia is forecast to remain as a tropical storm while it moves across Nicaragua today and reaches the adjacent Pacific waters this evening. Tropical storm warnings are in effect along the Pacific coasts of Nicaragua, Honduras, and El Salvador to account for the likelihood of tropical-storm-force winds in those areas later today through Monday. Tropical-force-winds are also possible on Monday along the Pacific coast of Guatemala, where a tropical storm watch is in effect. 2. Life-threatening flash flooding and mudslides are expected across portions of Central America Sunday and Monday. Flash flooding is anticipated across the Isthmus of Tehuantepec in Mexico early this week.
We just read this for my new methods and qualitative environmental research class for undergrads. Found it very useful to show contributions of qualitative work to climate adaptation.
Climate services promise better decisions but mainly focus on better data
Our new @NatureClimate paper finds that norms and institutions of science limit climate ‘services’ as a transformation of climate science
