Biodiversity Credit Markets

A range of biodiversity credit markets are emerging across the global economy. 

 

 

These markets can produce the scaled financing and incentives needed for businesses and economies to better align with the Global Biodiversity Framework and the Paris Agreement.

Building high-integrity, high-performing biodiversity credit markets requires a radical level of transparency and accountability, accreditation for traders, that affected voices are heard, interested stakeholders visible, minimum price floors established and international governance arrangements upgraded.

NatureFinance is working with a number of organisations to develop frameworks and recommendations in shaping high-performance and high-integrity biodiversity credit markets.

Mapping Indigenous Peoples and local community involvement in emerging Biocredits

This mapping, undertaken in partnership with the Taskforce on Nature Markets and IIED, based on a background study and series of informal conversations, indicates the sparse knowledge of involvement of Indigenous Peoples and local communities in biocredits projects and presents an initial finding of where collaboration with Indigenous Peoples and local communities is happening in emerging biocredit markets.
