As #carbonmarket negotiations are taking center strage at #COP29 in #baku - here is an excellent reference document: It covers 48 carbon certification standards (some of which are not-for-profit while others are vertically integrated/commercial) and maps them to the 7 dominant classifications. 🌍 Land Use, Land Use Change, and Forestry (incl. agroforestry, land management, ARR) 🌳 Conservation & REDD+ (incl. project & jurisdictional) 🌱 Carbon Dioxide Removal (incl. engineered carbon removal, biochar) 🔥 Industrial GHG emission reduction and energy efficiency 💨 Methane Capture (incl. waste handling and disposal) ☀️ Renewable Energy 💡 Domestic Energy Efficiency (incl. cookstoves, efficient lighting, water access, building energy efficiency) What does a carbon standard do? And do we need this many of them? Most carbon certification standards perform three fundamental functions: - Develop, approve, and update rules, principles, and requirements defining the conditions under which carbon credits can be delivered. - Review carbon offset projects against these rules, principles and requirements. - Operate a registry system that issues, transfers, and retires carbon credits. Until 2010 the #VCM only had 6 standards. In recent years that has increased a lot. For some good, and other less good reasons. Personally I think the market is pushing for standardization AND proliferation. What do I mean? It's complicated for project developers to navigate this increasingly complex landscape, not to mention the confusion for buyers. However, as long as the market is voluntary new ideas, technologies, trends, players will continue to give rise to new standards with a slightly different take on the market, pricing, integrity, scope, ease, convenience, etc. It will be very interesting to see how #article6 negotations around 6.4 will influence the landscape in the coming months/years.

#Sharing This infographic by 𝐕𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐚𝐩𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭 titled “𝐂𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐓𝐡𝐞 $11 𝐓𝐫𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐂𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐈𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐆𝐚𝐩” presents information on the investment required for Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) to meet United Nations climate goals. 𝘒𝘦𝘺 𝘱𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘴 𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘭𝘶𝘥𝘦: 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞-𝐁𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐒𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 (𝐍𝐁𝐒): These solutions focus on preserving or restoring natural ecosystems and providing sustainable benefits to communities and biodiversity. 𝐈𝐏𝐂𝐂 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐔𝐍 𝐆𝐨𝐚𝐥𝐬: The IPCC identifies NbS as one of the most effective strategies for reducing emissions, with ecosystem protection, restoration, and improved management of farmlands as key areas. The UN’s goals include limiting global warming to below 1.5°C, halting biodiversity loss, and achieving land degradation neutrality by 2050. 𝐀𝐧𝐧𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐈𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐍𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐬: . By 2025, $384 billion per year is required. . By 2030, this increases to $484 billion per year. . By 2050, the required annual investment is $674 billion, quadrupling the current levels. 𝐈𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐛𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: . Agroforestry requires $3.6 trillion in cumulative investment from 2022 to 2050. . Reforestation needs $3.4 trillion. . Restoration (seagrass and peatlands) needs $1.6 trillion. . Protection of ecosystems needs $1.3 trillion. . Other land management requires $1.1 trillion. . Current Investment Shortfall: Currently, only 17% of NbS investment comes from private sources, which needs to significantly increase to meet climate change goals. 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐛𝐨𝐧 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐂𝐨𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧’𝐬 𝐑𝐨𝐥𝐞: By financing the creation or expansion of nature-based carbon projects, the Carbon Streaming Corporation secures the rights to future carbon credits generated by these projects. 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐦𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐁𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐈𝐧𝐯𝐨𝐥𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭: The infographic suggests that consumers and businesses can contribute to these nature-based solutions by purchasing carbon credits, providing the essential investment needed for these projects. The infographic encourages readers to learn more about how they can get involved in closing the climate investment gap through nature-based solutions. 🔗 𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐜𝐞: 𝐔𝐍𝐄𝐏’𝐬 “𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 2022” 𝐑𝐞𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭. #ClimateChange #NatureBasedSolutions #SustainableInvesting #EnvironmentalFinance #GreenEconomy #ClimateAction #UNGoals #Sustainability #CarbonCredits #EcosystemProtection #Reforestation #ClimateFinance #Agroforestry #ImpactInvesting #ConservationFinance

Ever wondered how we could turn agricultural land into a powerful tool against climate change? Read on to know more about the Microbial Carbon Mineralization in the U.S. Midwest Project! A first of its kind in the region, the Microbial Carbon Mineralization in the U.S. Midwest Project aims to remove CO2 from the atmosphere by applying a microbial inoculant on agricultural land. Developed by Andes , this technology utilizes beneficial soil microbes to trap atmospheric CO2 as inorganic carbon in the soil, increasing soil inorganic carbon (SIC). To add to this, the project isn't just about removing carbon. It's about empowering farmers, enriching soil health, and cultivating resilient ecosystems. Our auditor, Ranjan Singh Singh, recently audited this project, ensuring it meets the highest standards of sustainability and impact. Special mentions to Riya Sharma and Kaitlyn Baab for their tireless efforts in contributing to the success of this project. Stay tuned for more updates on how we're making a difference in the fight against climate change!

“Climate change is often framed as a problem, but we need to start thinking differently – by reframing our relationship with nature,” said Professor Leong Yuen Yoong, Director of Sustainability Studies, Sustainable Development Solutions Network (UNSDSN) and Professor at Sunway University. “There are numerous opportunities, not just economic but also social.” Some of these critical opportunities are in sustainable agriculture,🌱 for instance, reducing fertilizer inputs to maintain good soil microbiomes. Soil has the capacity to store more carbon than above-ground biomass, so it has high potential for carbon sequestration. By calculating the value of soil and investing in restoring its health, we can harness Nature-based Solutions that help us combat climate change while also improving agricultural yields – a win-win for both people and nature!

With the #COP29 meetings underway, Diane-laure Arjaliès and I took the opportunity to advocate for nature-based solutions in this article in The Conversation. Nature-based solutions are initiatives that mitigate the negative impacts of climate change, such as cover crops, wetland restoration, and buffer strips. There is systematic evidence to show that these initiatives are cheaper, quicker, and more effective than manmade infrastructure or engineering solutions. We offer specific ways in which cash-strapped governments can catalyze private capital investments. We hope this article will serve as a reminder for the delegates at COP29 of the importance of nature-based solutions as a viable and practical solution to mitigating and adapting to climate change. https://lnkd.in/eq7tJWNH Ivey Centre for Building Sustainable Value, Ivey Business School at Western University, Western University, Innovation North
