#PostOfTheWeek In the first of a three-part blog series highlighting DAI’s support for developing carbon markets, Christy Owen talks to Barry Flaming, DAI’s Senior Technical Advisor on Climate, Natural Resources, and Private Sector Engagement, about his work supporting a global investor buy-in program to assess opportunities for developing carbon removal projects. In this context, carbon removal refers to nature-based solutions such as restoring natural ecosystems—forests, wetlands, mangroves, agricultural areas, etc.—to increase carbon stocks in vegetation and soils. This includes projects that might build off USAID landscape investments to help meet private sector partners’ net-zero commitments.

A report well worth reading. Much of the financial support directed towards marine conservation currently comes from public funds or philanthropic sources. However, much more progress can be made with private funding from investors aware of the potential value of flourishing marine ecosystems.
Blue Marine Foundation's Climate Unit, is thrilled to announce the release of a first-of-its-kind synthesis report on “Developing High-Integrity Marine Natural Capital Markets in the UK. The synthesis report is in partnership with Blue Marine Foundation, The Crown Estate and led by Finance Earth and Pollination, with input from almost 100 stakeholders and global experts across civil society, private sector enterprises, academia, government, and financial institutions. This publication offers a key step towards establishing a framework for high-integrity marine natural capital markets in the UK. It identifies barriers and recommendations for unlocking vital investment in marine natural capital and ecosystems, for the benefit of nature and local communities.

Land is our most important natural resource. At a critical time when the emerging value of carbon and natural capital is driving changes across our landscapes, we need to understand the opportunities and risks presented by different approaches to natural resource management. To address this, we have been working with CLES - Centre for Local Economic Strategies since December 2023 to build our understanding of how different governance and finance mechanisms can generate and harness public and community value generated by natural resources. Fourteen international case studies were identified which secured public value from natural resource management. The case studies were assessed against the four capitals in The Scottish Government Interim Principles for Responsible Investment in Natural Capital; financial/economic, human, social and natural. The case studies have been compiled in our latest publication, and these interim findings will be followed by a research report in autumn 2024.

#IUCNLeadersForum 🚨 DAY 3 - Like two peas in a pod : integrating the nature and climate agendas With @Beatrice Atim Odwong, Agnes Leina, @Marina Robles, antoine sire, @Grethel Aguilar #Climate and #Nature can no longer be treated separately. They are the same reality that impacts #LocalCommunities all over the planet, and in particular the most #vulnerable local communities who depend on nature on a daily basis... Integrating #local #stakeholders into projects is #no longer an option; it must be part of #processes and #strategies from the global to the local level. Supporting local communities must be a #priority for #public authorities and #companies. 👉 ERM supports companies to design and implement #BiodiversityActionPlans, integrating direct and indirect impacts and dependencies, risks and opportunities on a territorial scale. #Structured, #monitored and #reported programs are a means of #engaging local stakeholders over the #long term in a logic of real development, protection and restoration of nature. #LocalCommunities #IPLC #BusinessEthics
