Biodiversity Credit Alliance’s Post

Like their carbon counterparts, biodiversity credits represent an evidence-based unit of nature-positive impact. The Biodiversity Credit Alliance has produced a report to steer the development of a credible, scalable market rooted in science-based principles.

A key outcome of the UN Convention on Biodiversity was the adoption in 2022 of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, which includes 23 goals to help stop biodiversity loss by 2030. Investors are critical in assessing a company’s biodiversity impact and the related operational, legislative, and reputational risks. In collaboration with Visual Capitalist, we’ve developed this infographic summarizing how investors can integrate biodiversity into their investment strategies.

💲 💸 Building Just Partnerships in Biodiversity Credits 📌 I am curious about a new concept of a fair and just finance for biodiversity finance where indigenous people and local communities will directly profit -- as like it is forseen in the context of genetic ressource in the convention of biodiversity under the umbrella of acess and benefit sharing (ABS). As well investors will feel the direct impact of their own investment. 👈 Please look at the Biodiversity Credit Alliance, a partnership of the Swedish International Development Agency (SIDA), UNDP and UNEP: https://lnkd.in/eZMcMkyi

🎊 The second anniversary of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (#KMGBF) is fast approaching! In the run-up to December 19th, let's take a look back at the historic document that reshaped global biodiversity policy. ❗ Adopted during COP15 back in 2022, the Framework set 23 ambitious targets for 2030 and 4 broader goals for 2050. So far, 119 countries have aligned their national biodiversity benchmarks to those of the KM GBF. 🤝 This document came about as a result of four years of arduous research and negotiations and set the new standard for the implementation of the Convention on Biological Diversity. #Biodiversity #ForNature #ForOurPlanet

Biodiversity offsets, biodiversity credits, and biodiversity certificates all amount to the same thing. Frederic Hache of the Green Finance Observatory points out that, "In reality we all know that credits and certificates are the same, and that they will be used for offsetting." More than 270 organisations and academics have signed on to a civil society statement opposing biodiversity offsets and credits. https://lnkd.in/eziWyie2

🌻🐝🌳 In the face of accelerating #biodiversity loss, organisations are now being encouraged to regularly monitor, assess, and disclose their risks, dependencies, and impacts on biodiversity.

🐝🌻Understanding your organisation's impact on #biodiversity is key. In this recent Carbon Pulse article, EcoAct's Zander Dale notes that more organisations are now measuring their biodiversity footprint. 👣 Yet for organisations still confused on what, how and why to measure their impact on biodiversity, education on the topic is still needed. 🔗👉https://hubs.li/Q02zSg3V0 Learn more about how our biodiversity experts can support you here: https://hubs.li/Q02zSfXy0 🌼
