The science behind nature: evidence, durability and integrity in carbon markets
Nature Hub Pavilion - COP30 Blue Zone, Belém (Brazil)
Friday 14th November 2025
11:45 - 12:45
- Show how the latest research is strengthening confidence in the effectiveness and integrity of nature-based solutions within carbon markets. This session will move beyond the narrow “permanence debate” to explore the full scientific evidence base – from carbon flux and durability to biodiversity, resilience, and socio-ecological co-benefits.
Through a series of short lightning talks and/or fireside conversations, leading scientists will share what the science actually says – and what it doesn’t – about the role of nature in high-integrity carbon markets.
