Neglecting investments in nature today is one of the worst things we could do. We need more, not less, investment in nature – for so many obvious reasons.

New VCMI guidance paves the way for companies to invest in high-integrity carbon markets

The guidance reinforces the emerging consensus that the purchase of carbon credits should represent supplemental action - or “beyond value chain mitigation” - through which companies contribute to the collective global effort to reach net zero, in addition to, not a replacement for, their internal emission reductions in line with credible, net-zero decarbonization strategies. 

Land degradation increases further risk of nature loss and climate impacts, says UNCCD

The world’s race against the clock: what does the new IPCC ‘Working group III’ say?

Nature loss remains a significant contributor to climate change, as it has been for the past two decades. But the third and last report of the IPCC’s Sixth Assessment Cycle provides a glimmer of hope.

What makes a high-quality tree growing project

TNC, WWF, CI, WCS, BirdLife, B4N and WBCSD: The Measurable Nature Positive Goal for the CBD Mission

Humanity faces multiple existential and interconnected threats: nature loss, climate change, pandemics, and inequitable human development patterns.

Why we must adapt: reflections on the latest IPCC report

Reversing nature loss by 2030, while also halving greenhouse gas emissions this decade, is critical. Nature can also be an effective tool in helping to buffer communities from extreme weather events. 

Internet of Nature: Why Leveraging “NatureTech” Can Scale-Up Nature-Based Solutions

The episode explores how new advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, geospatial mapping, blockchain are changing the game for practitioners all over the world and can be deployed in the service of nature and the climate.

Voluntary carbon markets and integrity: what really happened at COP26?

Since their inception, voluntary carbon markets have been the subject of widely differing opinions. Some proponents believe they are the silver bullet for addressing climate change in the short term, whilst some activists believe they have no value and actually perpetuate the problems.
