🌍📢 THE URGENT NEED TO FINANCE NATURAL CLIMATE SOLUTIONS #NaturalClimateSolutions plays a vital role in mitigating #climatechange and offers significant #social, #environmental, and #biodiversity benefits. The. Time. To. Act. Is. Now. Together with IETA, our new paper highlights four key realities that underpin this urgency: 1. NCS offers higher mitigation potential compared to other abatement options. 2. Nature loss threatens economic growth, risking billions of dollars of assets within the next 5-10 years. 3. The effectiveness of nature as a mitigation tool decreases after 2030 due to ecosystem tipping points. 4. NCS addresses climate and economic risks while benefiting people, communities, and biodiversity. Carbon markets are essential for driving private sector investments into NCS at the necessary scale. Given the urgency of the nature and climate crises, we must act now. 🔗 Read the full paper here: https://lnkd.in/ejH8E9ys #ClimateAction #NaturalClimateSolutions #NCSAlliance #Sustainability #IETA #InvestInNature

Nature-based carbon credits are a powerful tool to achieve net-zero emissions, but time is of the essence. Exciting to see 5 eNGOs members of the Natural Climate Solutions Alliance - American Forest Foundation, Conservation International, Environmental Defense Fund, Fauna & Flora , The Nature Conservancy and Wildlife Conservation Society - joining forces to call on Science Based Targets initiative to include 5 key guardrails in its review of how carbon credits are used for Scope 3 emissions abatement. 🌿 Their letter stresses how, with proper science- and evidence-based guardrails, carbon credits will speed, not hinder, climate progress at a global scale.
