## Climate orders
You can now preorder permanent carbon removal with just a few clicks in the Dashboard or a single API call. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change ([IPCC](https://www.ipcc.ch/)) estimates that the world will need to reach [net-zero carbon emissions by 2050](https://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg3/). To enable you to build solutions that help scale carbon removal, we’re introducing the [Climate Orders API](https://stripe.com/docs/climate/orders/order-carbon-removal?dashboard-or-api=api). Whether you’re building a feature in your checkout flow or a full-scale marketplace, you and your customers can now contribute to carbon removal. Give it a try and let us know what you build.

### Updates

**Authenticate Stripe accounts to your service with oAuth or restricted keys:** Stripe Apps has added support for [OAuth and restricted keys](https://stripe.com/docs/stripe-apps/api-authentication), making it easier to have your products support Stripe accounts. 

**Optimize risk and understand revenue recovery:** The Stripe Dashboard has added [Radar risk controls](https://dashboard.stripe.com/settings/radar/risk-controls) and a [Revenue Recovery dashboard](https://dashboard.stripe.com/revenue-recognition) to learn about your involuntary churn, how it compares to industry benchmarks, and recommended improvements.

**Manage tax registrations via API:** Create, list, and update the jurisdictions in which you or your customers are registered to collect tax with the [Tax Registrations API](https://stripe.com/docs/tax/registrations-api). 

**Check the status of a Checkout Session:** Understand and filter if a session is open, expired, or complete using the [status parameter](https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/list#list_checkout_sessions-status) on the Checkout Sessions list endpoint.
