Honoured to have contributed to the final publishing of this World Economic Forum Paper on Biodiversity Credits. A very interesting dive into main credit scheme methodologies at the very conception of this new market. "The paper focuses on biodiversity credit markets, analysing and comparing three emerging models under the established key decisions among existing credit methodologies and standards: the comprehensive aggregate model, using composite, direct measurements; the critical indicator model, taking higher-level and more ecosystem-specific views; and the mosaic compilation model, which includes a variety of measurements related to key decisions. Additionally, the paper explores how metrics relate to disclosure frameworks, a particularly relevant topic for businesses engaging in nature-positive finance." https://lnkd.in/dzxkpBhw
