Description :

Nature-based solutions (NBS) are a powerful tool, with the potential to build community resilience against natural disasters, foster adaptation to climate change, reverse nature loss, and even contribute up to 30% of the emissions reductions needed to limit global warming to 1.5°C by 2030. However, a shortage of high-quality NBS projects remains a challenge, hindering their wider adoption. Increased scrutiny on voluntary carbon markets (VCMs) can correspond to greater legitimacy of climate-impact financing that is crucial for scaling up NBS. In this discussion, panellists will provide insights into the pivotal role of NBS and carbon markets as key levers for mobilising carbon finance to nature.
