Complementing forest-based carbon credits with biodiversity insurance and resilience value
How can we refine siloed investment pathways and mechanisms to leverage nexus approaches to achieve the best outcomes for climate, nature, and people? Departing from a market-driven focus on valuing forests for their carbon storage and sequestration services, this presentation and subsequent discussion examine the question in the context of financing forest conservation and restoration for the issuance of carbon credits.
