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.

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.

Our new @NatureClimate paper finds that norms and institutions of science limit climate ‘services’ as a transformation of climate science
