Protecting and restoring nature requires a high volume of resources<\/strong>, estimated at at least US$ 700 billion per year<\/a>, According to the United Nations, the majority of this amount should be provided by governments through the redirection of subsidies that currently harm biodiversity, as agreed upon by the countries of the UN Convention on Biological Diversity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But to achieve this goal, we need to go beyond public resources.,\u00a0It is necessary to mobilize US$$ 200 billion per year in the private sector.<\/strong>, combining existing instruments and new financial solutions for conservation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this context, the biodiversity credits<\/strong> have gained ground as a market mechanism for Directing private capital towards positive actions for nature.<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are biodiversity credits?<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Biodiversity credits<\/strong> they are Financial instruments generated from initiatives that protect, preserve, or strengthen biodiversity in a specific territory.<\/strong>. In practice, they recognize and reward actions with a positive environmental outcome, benefiting landowners, businesses, and communities that adopt sustainable practices and contribute to the conservation of fauna and flora. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each credit represents a unit of positive impact in an ecologically sensitive region. In other words, it functions as a form of... finance<\/strong><\/a> and to promote conservation and restoration projects<\/strong> with measurable criteria. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why biodiversity credits are gaining attention<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Biodiversity credits are gaining traction as an alternative to expand private funding for conservation and restoration<\/strong>. This movement intensified after the approval of Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework<\/strong> in 2022, often called the "Paris Agreement for Nature". <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another important factor is the advancement of standards and pressures for corporate transparency<\/strong>. The expectation is that Companies should disclose their risks and environmental impacts more clearly.<\/strong><\/a>, including metrics linked to natural capital, such as those proposed by Taskforce on Nature-Related Financial Disclosure, TNFD<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In practice, this increases the demand for instruments that link private investment to concrete environmental outcomes.<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
