There is a clear win, win here for nature, Climate and people. However there is still much confusion and mistrust about nature and carbon credits. The market is in first gear and needs to accelerate amd scale. The guide will demystify carbon and nature markets and brings to light the enormous opportunity and Co-benefits that can be realised.

This London Climate Action Week, we are excited to announce the launch of a new guide designed to help companies and financial institutions invest in high-integrity Natural Climate Solutions (NCS). The ERM Sustainability Institute, WBCSD – World Business Council for Sustainable Development, Natural Climate Solutions Alliance (NCSA), and Forest Investor Club (FIC) have developed this report to highlight the climate, financial, environmental, and social benefits of NCS projects and help encourage the flow of private capital into these solutions. The guide provides the most comprehensive guidance to date and outlines the key stages of the NCS investment process, including how to identify high-integrity NCS projects, conduct thorough due diligence, and implement effective investment strategies, all with the goal of de-mystifying and simplifying the NCS investment process. In addition to carbon, the guide explains the wider environmental, financial, social, and reputational benefits of NCS investments and how an NCS strategy can be aligned with the individual investor’s business case. ERM’s Head of Carbon Markets Alexander Cox explains why and how companies should invest in NCS in the video below.
