How to enhance permanence of nature-based projects? At NatureRe, we understand that the key to impactful climate action lies in the permanence of carbon removal projects. But why is permanence so crucial in the Voluntary Carbon Market (VCM)? Permanence is the basis of carbon removal/avoidance estimations and plays a crucial role in determining the market’s integrity. Scientifically, “permanence” is a guarantee against reversals into the indefinite future. Anything less than that is not “permanent.” However, on the offset market, permanence refers to the long-term sequestration of CO2 from the atmosphere. A standard convention is that captured carbon should stay out of the atmosphere for 100 years (Carbon Offset Guide). Nature-based carbon removal projects, such as reforestation and afforestation, inherently face challenges related to permanence. Risks such as wildfires, disease, and illegal logging can lead to the re-release of stored carbon, undermining the project’s effectiveness. However, there are strategies to enhance permanence despite these risks, which NatureRe is committed to implement. 1️⃣ We proactively engage with local communities from the start. By sharing the benefits of nature regeneration versus inefficient cattle ranching, we ensure that the projects are not only accepted but also actively protected by those who know the land best. By hiring local individuals, we are able to implement a coherent project, capitalising on knowledge about the land, and its potential issues, including flooding or fire risks. Communicating with neighbours, we set up corridors that act as fire breaks on the areas we are restoring. 2️⃣ Our unique method, Assisted Natural Regeneration (ANR), supports the natural regrowth of native tree species, which are more resilient and diverse, mimicking natural forests and increasing the chances of long-term carbon storage. High-quality methodologies, such as ANR, positively impact water sources, biodiversity, and local communities. 3️⃣ Rather than leasing the land we restore, we purchase it to guarantee that there will not be a sudden change in land use which could reverse the carbon removed. To safeguard the future of our reforested areas, we register them as natural reserves under Colombia's scheme Resnatur. This ensures that the land remains protected and the carbon remains sequestered indefinitely. While technology-based carbon removals, such as Direct Air Capture and biochar, promise greater permanence, they are not yet scalable and require significant investment to become viable. In the meantime, nature-based solutions are ready and effective now. They need urgent financing to enhance their impact and bridge the gap until tech-based solutions can take over. By investing in nature-based solutions today, we can ensure a more stable and sustainable climate future. Invest in Nature, Restore Biodiversity, Remove Carbon at Scale. #CarbonRemoval #NatureBasedSolutions #Permanence #VoluntaryCarbonMarket

#SUERFpolicynote "Carbon borders on both sides of the channel: Implications of the UK and EU carbon tariffs" by Barbara Sophia Kölbl (PhD), Stefan Koopman and Pablo R. | RaboResearch Following the launch of the #EU CBAM, the #UK announced plans to implement their own CBAM. We analyze the potential impacts of separate EU-UK #carbon #pricing #policies on the competitiveness of relevant CBAM industries. Recent carbon-intensity data for CBAM products indicate that the average EU producer is less carbon-intensive in the production of aluminum, cement, iron, and steel, than the average UK producer. This gives EU producers a carbon cost advantage in their own market when protected by the CBAM. However, under separate carbon-pricing systems and CBAM policies, this advantage can be offset in the UK market if the EU carbon price is 3% to 9% higher than the UK ETS price. This shows, that the CBAMs in their current design protect against carbon leakage in the respective #domestic #markets, but the divergence in carbon price policies between the two jurisdictions can, in specific cases, distort the carbon competition. Overall, aligning carbon pricing policies between the EU and the UK is more beneficial for carbon competition. #CarbonBorderAdjustmentMechanism (CBAM) 📄https://lnkd.in/dUE-PS7T

👉 Generate high quality #carboncredits with Open Forest Protocol as a forest project from anywhere around the world "The OFP ARR requirements are quite strict and designed to only allow the enrollment of genuine native forest restoration projects. This is in sharp contrast with other ARR methodologies such as Verra’s VM0047/ABACUS, which allows wiggle room to enroll forests that represent typical timber harvesting practices."- Renoster rating agency review Open Forest Protocol was built for the communities on the front lines of climate action. Nature has never been more valuable or conservation more necessary, and the people putting in the work on the ground need to be at the center of each solution brought to the table. Built to address the core problems plaguing the voluntary carbon market, including more equitable access to the voluntary carbon market, OFP is made to support those shepherding our natural areas around the globe. Almost a year ago, we released our ARR (afforestation, reforestation, regeneration) carbon methodology and explored what it means to be a project within the OFP platform.
