The Role of Nature Based Carbon Credits for Corporate Climate and Nature Strategies

​Carbon credits can be a key component of corporate net-zero strategies, especially for addressing beyond value chain emissions. Among the available credit types, nature based carbon credits offer unique value by delivering critical ecosystem services and community co-benefits in addition to carbon sequestration.

However, increased scrutiny and concerns over greenwashing have raised important questions about the integrity of carbon markets, particularly in the nature based solutions space.
