Published by the Green Finance Institute’s Revenues for Nature, this practical guide catalogues nature-positive revenue models that channel private capital into supply chains. It sets design criteria, shows cashflow structures, and explains risk-sharing, MRV and governance features corporates and investors need to scale investment. Case examples illustrate when to use outcome-based payments, credits and certification, and how to align incentives from farmers to finance.
This guidance by Patch, BCG and Oxford Net Zero shows how to set and operate an internal carbon price aligned with net-zero goals, covering price types (implicit, shadow, real), governance, capital allocation, and case studies that link pricing to credible abatement.
Published by Patch, this practical guide helps companies procure high-integrity carbon credits. It outlines buying pathways, contract types, and risk factors, with RFP and due-diligence tools to ensure integrity and value. Case studies from Bain, Nokia, DocuSign, and Etsy show how to structure timelines, manage pricing, and align purchases with credible claims.
Published by Supercritical, this report analyses the barriers and breakthroughs shaping biochar’s path to 2030 as a leading carbon-removal technology, highlighting financing gaps, feedstock challenges, and the need for diversified supply and bankable offtakes.
Published by Orbitas, this report builds the economic case for large-scale forest restoration in Brazil, showing it could generate USD 141 billion and 350,000 jobs annually through smart policy, finance innovation, and integration of carbon, biodiversity and bioeconomy markets.
According to Oxford Academic, NCS hold major climate mitigation potential, yet their implementation is hindered by social, political, economic, and informational barriers. This paper maps 2,480 constraint instances across 10 pathways and 135 countries, finding that reforestation and agroforestry are most impacted. Funding gaps, policy inefficiencies, and equity concerns dominate. The authors call for adaptive, cross-sector strategies to address co-occurring constraints and improve project feasibility.
AlliedOffsets introduces a forecasting model for the VCM, simulating credit demand under various market conditions through 2030. Scenarios reflect divergent buyer behavior, regulatory signals, and investor sentiment. The baseline scenario projects steady growth in retirements, while an optimistic scenario sees near 1 GtCO₂e retired annually by 2030. It identifies market levers (e.g. Scope 3 frameworks, policy alignment, pricing clarity) that could influence uptake. The model helps guide strategy for developers, buyers, and intermediaries navigating future carbon market dynamics.
Published by S&P Global, this whitepaper shows how registries are the backbone of credible carbon markets. It details policy options for countries to design fit-for-purpose systems, linking domestic registries with Article 6 mechanisms and voluntary standards. Key principles include interoperability, governance, and data security to enhance trust and access to finance for climate action. Case examples illustrate how registry architecture enables transparency and alignment with national goals.
Published by WWF, this report provides a science-based framework for corporate action to halt and reverse marine biodiversity loss. It adapts the SBTN AR3T model to the ocean context and details priority actions for four industries: offshore wind, shipping, coastal tourism and seafood. Each pathway combines avoidance, restoration and transformative partnerships with finance and policy levers to achieve nature-positive outcomes by 2030.
This report by UNEP calls for bold investment in high-integrity forest solutions across tropical regions. It finds that finance is not only insufficient but poorly targeted, flowing primarily to lower-risk geographies. It outlines how to redirect capital using guarantees, public-private co-investment, and reformed mandates to support frontline communities, Indigenous groups, and tropical governments.
